MUMBAI (Reuters) - The BSE Sensex rose on Monday in a volatile session as IT stocks gained on hopes of better realisations after the rupee resumed its fall following a sharp rise in the previous session.

Sesa Goa surged a day ahead of its inclusion in the Sensex. The stock rose 9.57 percent while Infosys Ltd provisionally ended 1 percent higher.

The BSE Sensex gained 0.21 percent and the 50-share Nifty ended up 0.09 percent, marking their third consecutive day of gains.
