Till 3.30 you can check on kite itself, span increasing after 3.30 is rare case so better to maintain 10% buffer always than required margin.

Okay. I would suggest if there is a span increase then update in kite and send notifications to clients so that they can add money and avoid this penalty.

If you are new to Options trading I suggest you to learn Option Basics on Varsity [https://zerodha.com/varsity/module/option-theory/](https://zerodha.com/varsity/module/option-theory/)
With 50k you can by couple of lots of Nifty or Bank Nifty options but that won’t be enough to take short position. You can check margin requirements [here](https://zerodha.com/margin-calculator/SPAN/).

Weekly option contracts aren’t currently available in Calculator, you can use 25 June contracts to check margins requirements.

In your case, you are not required to bring that 500 rupee loss. You can trade with 3500. No margin penalty for this.
If you want to buy the option you should have cash equal to the premium amount of the option which you intend to buy.
