All Options contracts are settled in cash daily and the expiration date. Traders are not required to hold any stocks.
After the settlement of options contracts, it takes T + 1 day or 1 business day for the transaction to be posted to the investor's demat account.
The maximum loss in a buy-side option is the premium paid. So the settlement of options on the buy side starts with the settlement of the premium, and then you are done until the position is closed or expires.
In option settlement on the sell side, the initial margin is paid in advance. This is followed by MTM (mark-to-market) settlement, which takes place daily, and finally, final option settlement, which takes place when the position is liquidated or until expiry.
An option can be exercised in two ways - by Squaring Off or by Expiring Worthless.
Until recently, trading in equity futures and options in India was settled through cash settlement, but now physical delivery of shares is being gradually introduced for all equity F&O contracts. Settlement of exercises will be done through cash settlement by debiting or crediting the settlement accounts of the concerned clearing members.
