let me try to explain, although it is not a strategy yet a calculated gamble which can pay off handsomely.
take the last day of expiry when calls and put for Nifty trades below 5 one can buy in large quantities as the market swings wildly and it can double in no time. one can make 100-150 per lot
with option trading charges anywhere between 35 to 80 rupees per lot each side it is not possible to make money
now at Rs. 20 per trade I think it is quite possible when the breakeven comes at say 10-30 paisa.

Please be careful though, study the way options move with the underlying and I work only with Nifty options - beginning of the month with far out of money and towards the middle of the month with slightly out of money options.
I don't know if most people realize how much Zerodha empowers traders, but most of my friends are moving to Zerodha immediately - the power of 40 Rs flat brokerage is to be experienced.
Thank you Zerodha
Also, word of caution - please start off slow and do not use your entire capital at any point during intraday options trading because the volatility is pretty massive and you may need capital to average out your buys.
