Option expiry price calculation

What is the risk free rate that we should consider to calculate the option pricing or IV (other than last day of expiry) ?
a) 0.01% as a nominal rate because we are not loosing any opportunity cost for money in trading account.
b) 10% as considered by NSE ?
c) State Bank Saving Interest Rate @ 3.50%
d) Government Bond 1 Year Rate @ 6.25%

How to calculate the same?

If not getting down to complexity of calculations of average price, just add a 30 day Simple moving average line on 1 minute chart, the result would be exactly same.

nifty closing price and settlement price are more or less same today at 11980. What will be the settlement price of 11950 call option that also expired today?

I see nifty spot closed at 11,946.75, so 11950 call expired out of money, it’s value will be 0. On expiry day spot values are considered.

Can you please tell me what will be the settlement price for 11950 PE in that case? Will it be 3.25?

Right, but one should also take STT into account, STT will be around 14 to 15 points so in this case it would not make sense to exercise it and better to let it go off.
