@Mr. Agrawal @Hokagenaruto The april options are near expiry and decreasing premium hence will have lower margins. May expiry options will have higher margins, even going forward, since currently there is transition from april to may expiry, so increase in premium and hence increase in margin from 16K to 24K, assuming 2 lots.
Since these are options bought (be it PE or CE) max loss will be the amount paid for premium if things do not go as planned, and some off it can be offset by allotment profits.
If these were futures we were talking about, then contract near expiry need more SPAN + Exposure so increased margins would have been needed, in case April expiry is chosen.
@Rakcyt Yes that would be more beneficial and more profits if things go as planned but higher margins and higher losses, if does not go as planned or if profits from allotment aren't enough.
