@ RKSV ,
A query regarding a scenario in an Option trade !!
If I have bought a Banknifty ITM Put and after a big fall in the market it becomes a Deep ITM then the spread between the Bid & Ask becomes very large . Almost it seems that as a seller I am unable to find a buyer at a reasonable price keeping my profit intact. The spread is so large that I don't want to compromise with my profit. If I don't close the trade[in this case sell the option]till Expiry then what will be the scenario after expiry for me [assuming that the market remains subdued and my deep ITM Put still has a big spread in Bid & Ask].
Generally I close my trades within a stipulated time or if the target is met . But I want to be clear about this scenario as this situation may warrant to compromise a lot on the profit front.
Thanks.

Hope you are doing well. As per your question, if for example you bought BNF 12100PE when BNF is at 12000, now there is a big fall and BNF falls to 11450 on the expiry day and your contract becomes illiquid, and you let the position expire.
In this case the exchange will close the position and the value of your option contract will be Rs. 650 (because 12100-11450). Lot size is 25 so 650*25= Rs.16250/- So the exchange will settle the contract at the settlement price of the underlying, and the bid/ask will not matter.
But the thing is you will be charged a higher rate of STT of 0.125% on settlement value. Which is indeed very high.
