You can go for this geneal rules:
If you have a 5200 Nifty Februar call and market is at 5300, the intrinsic value of the option should be 100Rp. All the rest above this price is time value. Vice versa for puts.
If the market ist at 5350, your Nifty 5200 Feb. call should have an intrinsic value of 150 Rp and all the rest is time value.
If market is at 5300 and you have a Nifty Feb. call 5400, all the value is pure time value and no Rp. intrinsic value.
If you have a 5200 Nifty Feb. Call and market is at 5200, the value of the call is pure time value.
Time value includes time and implied volatility of the option.
Intrinsic value includes real value of the option and implied volatility of the option.
