The settlement amount of a bond, displayed on the website, consists of both the market price and accrued interest, which can cause fluctuations. Here's how it works:

1. Market Price: 

The market price of a bond changes daily due to market dynamics, reflecting factors such as supply and demand, interest rate variations, and economic conditions. As a result, if there's a delay of a day or more between adding bond units to your cart and completing the purchase, the market price might change, affecting the settlement amount.

2. Accrued Interest:

 Bonds accumulate interest daily until the purchase date. When you add bonds to your cart and buy them after a few days, the accrued interest will be included in the settlement amount. This interest accumulates from the time you added the bond to your cart until the actual purchase date.
