There are lots of option price calculators that give out the delta. If you want it on the fly, then remember the following…
Delta will be between 0 to 0.5 for strikes that are OTM
Delta will be around 0.5 for the strikes that at ATM
Delta will be around 0.5 to 1 for strikes that the ITM
Deep OTM strikes will have delta close to 0
Deep ITM strikes will have a delta close to 1
See the below Excel sheet:

Usually a good Options calculator is inbuilt within your trading terminal, listed under ‘Tools’. Else check this out - http://www.bseindia.com/markets/derivatives/derireports/OptionCalculator.aspx?expandable=5
thank u so much. yes i checked on my terminal. yes in tool option calculater is there. but how to put values of interest rate ,volatility and no of days in there. .
For interest rate take the rate on the 91 day bill from GoI. Volatility will be from VIX and no of days will be the number of days to expiry.
