Hey, I was just going through the following thread and I just can’t figure out whether the Oct 2019 onwards margin requirements for physical settlement stock options apply to CE/PE option contracts that are OTM on the LONG side?
I mean, suppose I BOUGHT a PE contract at a strike of 80 rupees thinking the stock price will go down, but in the expiry week, the stock’s trading at 100, I know OTM contracts expire worthless, but will any margins be blocked in my account in this scenario during expiry week even though the option is OTM on the LONG side?
