You can purchase a new contract to replace existing futures contract. Assume you purchased a futures contract to purchase 1000 shares of XYZ Company. You can buy another futures contract to sell 1000 shares of XYZ firm on the expiration date.
Is it possible to trade futures on their expiration date?
The last trading day is the last day on which a futures contract or other derivative with an expiration date may trade or be closed out before the underlying asset is delivered or cash settlement is required. If the position is not closed by the conclusion of the last trading day, the contract holder must be ready to receive delivery of the commodity or settle in cash. Options contracts follow the same logic.

It will not be rolled-over if you do not square-off futures. The payment will be made in cash. If you want to roll over, you must square-off manually and then buy stock futures for the next month.

The National Stock Exchange (NSE) and the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) both provide derivatives trading (BSE). Over 100 equities and nine key indices are available for futures and options trading on the NSE. Futures tend to move faster than options since they are the derivative with the most leverage. A futures contract’s maximum period is three months. Traders often pay only the difference between the agreed-upon contract price and the market price in a typical futures and options transaction. As a result, you will not be required to pay the actual price of the underlying item.
Commodity exchanges such as the National Commodity & Derivatives Exchange Limited (NCDEX) and the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX) are two of the most popular venues for futures and options trading (MCX). The extreme volatility of commodity markets is the rationale for substantial derivative trading. Commodity prices can swing drastically, and futures and options allow traders to hedge against a future drop.
Simultaneously, it enables speculators to profit from commodities that are predicted to increase in value in the future. While the typical investor may trade futures and options in the stock market, commodities training takes a little more knowledge.

What happens if you hold on to a futures contract until it expires?
Physical settlement is most commonly used for non-financial commodities including wheat, cattle, and precious metals. The clearinghouse matches the holder of a long contract against the holder of a short position when the futures contract expires. The underlying asset is delivered to the long position by the short position. To take possession of the asset, the holder of the long position must deposit the entire contract amount with the clearinghouse.
