MUMBAI (Reuters) - The BSE Sensex fell nearly 1 percent on Thursday, led by profit-taking in software stocks such as Infosys Ltd, while the expiry of February derivative contracts and caution ahead of federal budget on Saturday also weighed on sentiment.

The Sensex fell 0.9 percent, while the broader Nifty lost 0.95 percent.
