ARCH and GARCH models are applied to check the volatility in stock returns using dummy variable.Findings: It is found that there exists positive and significant September effect in Pakistani equity market. The returns are high in the month of September than other months. The constant returns do not exist during the whole year so the efficient market hypothesis contradicts.Implications/Originality/Value: The Efficient Market Hypothesis is question mark due to volatility for mispricing the securities.
