Hey. With reference to your query, if you have just sold at 68 and brought back at 151, then your actual loss would be Rs.20,750 for 1 lot of Reliance.
If you are checking the P&L report, you must have selected other dates as well, in this case, your P&L report will show a consolidated loss for all the trades you have made in reliance. You can verify that once.
Did you squared off your overnight short position?
So whenever you sell/write options the premium received will get credited to your trading account on the same day, and while you are sqauring-off your short position, you are required to pay the premium as you are buying back the contract.
In this case, with reference to the screenshot which you have attached, you have brought the 250Qty for the price of Rs.151.50, so the net debit from your account was Rs.37,875 (Rs.151.50*250Qty).
If you have shorted for Rs.68, you would have received the premium of Rs.17,000 and the same would have been already credited to your account. While you have squared-off your overnight position, you have paid a total premium of Rs.37,875, so your P&L is Rs.20,875.
Hope this clarifies.
