REUTERS - Indian shares fell for a second straight session on Tuesday as caution set in ahead of quarterly gross domestic product data due later in the day, which will show the extent of the impact on the economy from a ban on high-value currency.

The Nifty ended 0.19 percent lower at 8,879.6, while the Sensex was down 0.24 percent at 28,743.32.

However, for the month, the Nifty rose 3.72 percent and the Sensex advanced 3.93 percent, their second consecutive monthly gains.
