Basics of Options Trading FAQs

In India what is the cycle of contract for Options ?

Except for long-dated contracts and options, India has a maximum 3-month trading cycle. This includes 1 month, 2 or 3 months.

On the day following the expiration date of the monthly contracts, option contracts can be introduced. The last trading day of each month is the expiration date. Buyers have the choice of three contracts with different expiry dates at any given time.
