Options Strategies Margin Requirment

#1
Thank u,
But actually Im doing Options Strategies studies & I have difficulty in that about related to Margin Requirement/ Exposures charging on Stratergies.Im explaining my Query as bellow:
EX -:
1] When i'm buying a call option of any stock i have to pay Premium which the price of the Option (if i bought Nifty future's {Nifty lost size is 50 Qty} 4400 call @ Rs.25 as premium i invest Rs.1250,i paid Rs.1250 for buying 4400 call.
And same will happen with Put.

2] In Uncovered Call,When i'm Selling a Call Option of 4400 Nifty future's i will receive the Premium from byer of that call option {@ Rs.75 * 50= 3750 as per premium received}BUT AS WELL AS PER NSE'S REGULATIONS APPROVED BY SEBI (as per my knowledge) I HAVE TO PAY MARGIN FOR STANDING THIS KIND OF SHORT POSITIO/CALL A WRITING (i think for risk purpse).
Means here, Margin Paid on writing Call Rs.27000
(minus) - Primium Received on writing Call Rs.3750
------
Net Investment for Potion is Rs.23250
And same will happen with Put.

3 ] NOW As per in Covered Call when i Buying a stock in future i'm paying the span Margin/Exposur for Buying the particular stock {Buying Nifty Future @ Rs.4450 & its Margin paid Rs.27000 & when writing a 4600 Call option @ Rs.80{80*50 nifty lot size=4000}recived premium Rs.4000 on that potion.
BUT HERE I HAVE NOT TO PAY EXPOSURE ON CALL WRITING BUT ONLY PAY ON NIFTY FUTURES LOT BUYING.
Means here, Margin Paid on Nifty Furute Buying Rs.27000
(minus) - Primium Received on writing Call Rs.3750
--------------------
Net Investment for Potion is Rs.23250

If your broker charges a single premium on married positions like Covered calls then the same should extend to other call/put spread positions.

Normally in India most brokers charge premium for all short option positions and futures either way. Best to check with your broker.

hi , there is a system of span margin by nse . there is a software provided by nse to its member to calculate margin for bunch positions .
if any trader put all his options position at once in the software it will automatically show the used margin ammount.
