Physical Delivery of Hedged Stock Options

With the new margin norms for hedged derivatives, the margin required for a hedged position has drastically reduced.
However, for stock options with physical delivery, how does the margin change when one of the positions become ITM. Is reduced margin still effective? Are hedged stock options physically settled.
Pls elaborate, conditions in which physical settlement of stock options do not arise.
