For options selling do I need to have cash in my account?

F&O

I know I need span + exposure margin but does it have to cash ?

If I have more than enough equities in my account …for example if I have 3 lac. worth of equity in my account …do I still need cash for the sell option that requires about 50k total in margin?

Hi ,

If you have equities in your demat account you can look at pledging them and then use the collateral margin to write options.
