Hi Sarvesh,

Its simple, to make F&O a lot more affordable.

Between 2 Lacs to 4 Lacs all the F&O lots are available. So if ITC is trading at 360 with lot size 1000 and after a year if it trades at 600 automatically lot size will be reduced to 750 or 500 to make it affordable.

Here is a SEBI cirular relased in 2010 directing excahnges to fix lot sizes.

Hoe this helps.

Thanks
