Futures & Options Segment 6
The Futures and Options segment of NSE witnessed huge increase in volumes during 2009-10 and
continued to achieve a commendable place on the international front. In the year 2009 NSE ranked
as the seventh largest derivatives exchange in the world1, the second largest exchange in single
stock futures and stock index options and the third largest in the stock index futures category. The
rankings are based in terms of number of contracts traded.2
The derivatives trading at NSE commenced on June 12, 2000 with futures trading on S&P CNX Nifty
Index. Subsequently, the product base has been increased to include trading in options on S&P CNX
Nifty Index, futures and options on CNX IT, Bank Nifty Nifty Midcap 50 Indices and 190 single stocks
(Table 6-1) as of March 2010. The various products on the derivative segment of NSE and their date
of launch is shown in the table below.
Since inception, NSE established itself as the sole market leader in this segment in the country and
during 2009-10, it accounted for 99 % of the market share.
Trading Mechanism
The derivatives trading system at NSE is called NEAT-F&O trading system. It provides a fully
automated screen-based trading for all kind of derivative products available on NSE on a nationwide
basis. It supports an anonymous order driven market, which operates on a strict price/time priority.
It provides tremendous flexibility to users in terms of kinds of orders that can be placed on the
system. Various time and price related conditions like Immediate or Cancel, Limit/Market Price,
Stop Loss, etc. can be built into an order. Trading in derivatives is essentially similar to that of
trading of securities in the CM segment.
The NEAT-F&O trading system distinctly identifies two groups of users. The trading user more
popularly known as trading member has access to functions such as, order entry, order matching
and order & trade management. The clearing user (clearing member) uses the trader workstation
for the purpose of monitoring the trading member(s) for whom he clears the trades. Additionally,
he can enter and set limits on positions, which a trading member can take.
Contract Specification
The contract specification for derivative products traded on NSE are summarised in Table 6-2 &
Table 6-3.
At any point of time there are o nly three contract months available for trading, with 1 month,

2 months and 3 months to expiry. These contracts expire on last Thursday of the expiry month
and have a maximum of 3-month expiration cycle. If the last Thursday is a trading holiday, the
contracts expire on the previous trading day. A new contract is introduced on the next trading day
following the expiry of the near month contract. All the derivatives contracts are presently cash
settled.
The long term option contracts are available for 3 serial month contracts, 3 quarterly months of
the cycle March / June / September / December and 8 following semi-annual months of the cycle
June / December. Thus, at any point in time there would be options contracts available up to 5
year tenure.
For an existing F&O stock, the continued eligibility criteria is that market wide position limit in
the stock should not be less than ` 60 crores and stock’s median quarter-sigma order size over the
last six months shall be not less than ` 2 lakh. If the existing security fails to meet the eligibility
criteria for three months consecutively, then no fresh month contract would be issued on that
security. However, the existing unexpired contracts would be permitted to trade till expiry and
new strikes would also be introduced in the existing contract months. Further, once the stock is
excluded from the F&O list, it is not considered for re-inclusion for a period of one year.
A stock which is dropped from derivatives trading may become eligible once again. In such
instances, the stock is required to fulfill the eligibility criteria for three consecutive months to be
re-introduced for derivatives trading.
The eligibility criteria for stocks for derivatives trading on account of corporate restructuring is as
under. All the following conditions should be met in the case of shares of a company undergoing
108
restructuring through any means for eligibility to reintroduce derivative contracts on that company
from the first day of listing of the post restructured company/(s) (as the case may be) stock
(herein referred to as post restructured company) in the underlying market.
a) The Futures and options contracts on the stock of the original (pre restructure) company were
traded on any exchange prior to its restructuring;
b) The pre restructured company had a market capitalisation of at least ` 1000 crores prior to its
restructuring;
c) The post restructured company would be treated like a new stock and if it is, in the opinion
of the exchange, likely to be at least one-third the size of the pre restructuring company in
terms of revenues, or assets, or (where appropriate) analyst valuations; and
d) In the opinion of the exchange, the scheme of restructuring does not suggest that the post
restructured company would have any characteristic (for example extremely low free float)
that would render the company ineligible for derivatives trading.
If the above conditions are satisfied, then the exchange takes the following course of action in
dealing with the existing derivative contracts on the pre-restructured company and introduction
of fresh contracts on the post restructured company
a) In the contract month in which the post restructured company begins to trade, the Exchange
introduce near month, middle month and far month derivative contracts on the stock of the
restructured company.
b) In subsequent contract months, the normal rules for entry and exit of stocks in terms of
eligibility requirements would apply. If these tests are not met, the exchange shall not permit
further derivative contracts on this stock and future month series shall not be introduced.

NSCCL undertakes clearing and settlement of all trades executed on the F&O Segment of the
Exchange. It also acts as legal counterparty to all trades on this segment and guarantees their
financial settlement. The Clearing and Settlement process comprises of three main activities, viz.,
Clearing, Settlement and Risk Management.
Clearing Mechanism
The clearing mechanism essentially involves working out open positions and obligations of clearing
(self-clearing/trading-cum-clearing/professional clearing) members. This position is considered
for exposure and daily margin purposes. The open positions of CMs are arrived at by aggregating
the open positions of all the TMs and all custodial participants clearing through him, in contracts
in which they have traded. A TM’s open position is arrived at as the summation of his proprietary
115
open position and clients’ open positions, in the contracts in which he has traded. While entering
orders on the trading system, TMs are required to identify the orders. These orders can be
proprietary (if they are their own trades) or client (if entered on behalf of clients) through ‘Pro/
Cli’ indicator provided in the order entry screen. Proprietary positions are calculated on net basis
(buy - sell) for each contract. Clients’ positions are arrived at by summing together net (buy - sell)
positions of each individual client. A TM’s open position is the sum of proprietary open position,
client open long position and client open short position.
Settlement Mechanism
All futures and options contracts are cash settled i.e. through exchange of cash. The settlement
amount for a CM is netted across all their TMs/clients, with respect to their obligations on MTM,
premium and exercise settlement. For the purpose of settlement, all CMs are required to open a
separate bank account with NSCCL designated clearing banks for F&O segment.
Futures contracts have two types of settlements, the MTM settlement which happens on a T+1 day
basis and the final settlement which happens on the next day of the expiry day
• MTM Settlement for Futures: The positions in futures contracts for each member are marked-
to-market to the daily settlement price of the relevant futures contract at the end of each
day. The CMs who have suffered a loss are required to pay the mark-to-market (MTM) loss
amount in cash which is in turn passed on to the CMs who have made a MTM profit. This is
known as daily mark-to-market settlement. CMs are responsible to collect and settle the
daily MTM profits/losses incurred by the TMs and their clients clearing and settling through
them. Similarly, TMs are responsible to collect/pay losses/ profits from/to their clients by the
next day. The pay-in and pay-out of the mark-to-market settlement are effected on the day
following the trade day (T+1).
After completion of daily settlement computation, all the open positions are reset to the daily
settlement price. Such positions become the open positions for the next day.
• Final Settlement for Futures: On the expiry day of the futures contracts, after the close of
trading hours, NSCCL marks all positions of a CM to the final settlement price and the resulting
profit/loss is settled in cash. Final settlement loss/profit amount is debited/credited to the
relevant CM’s clearing bank account on the day following expiry day of the contract.
• Settlement Prices for Futures: Daily settlement price on a trading day is the closing price
of the respective futures contracts on such day. The closing price for a futures contract is
currently calculated as the last half an hour weighted average price of the contract in the
F&O Segment of NSE. Final settlement price is the closing price of the relevant underlying
index/security in the Capital Market segment of NSE, on the last trading day of the contract.
The closing price of the underlying Index/security is currently its last half an hour weighted
average value in the Capital Market Segment of NSE.
Options contracts have three types of settlements, premium settlement, interim exercise settlement
in the case of option contracts on securities and final exercise settlement.
Buyer of an option is obligated to pay the premium towards the options purchased by him. Similarly,
the seller of an option is entitled to receive the premium for the option sold by him. The premium
116
payable amount and the premium receivable amount are netted to compute the net premium
payable or receivable amount for each client for each option contract.
Interim exercise settlement takes place only for option contracts on securities. An investor
can exercise his in-the-money options at any time during trading hours, through his trading
member. Interim exercise settlement is effected for such options at the close of the trading
hours, on the day of exercise. Valid exercised option contracts are assigned to short positions
in the option contract with the same series (i.e. having the same underlying, same expiry
date and same strike price), on a random basis, at the client level. The CM who has exercised
the option receives the exercise settlement value per unit of the option from the CM who has
been assigned the option contract
Final exercise settlement is effected for all open long in-the-money strike price options
existing at the close of trading hours, on the expiration day of an option contract. All such
long positions are exercised and automatically assigned to short positions in option contracts
with the same series, on a random basis. The investor who has long in-the-money options on
the expiry date will receive the exercise settlement value per unit of the option from the
investor who is short on the option
Interim Exercise settlement price for an option contract is the closing price of the relevant
underlying security in the Normal Market of the Capital market segment. The closing price
of the underlying Index/security is currently its last half an hour weighted average value in
the Capital Market Segment of NSE on the interim exercise day
Final Exercise settlement price for an option contract shall be the closing price of the relevant
underlying security/index in the Normal Market of the Capital market segment on the expiry
day. The closing price of the underlying Index/security is currently its last half an hour weighted
average value in the Capital Market Segment of NSE on expiry day
Settlement Statistics
All derivative contracts are currently cash settled. The participants discharge their obligations
through payment/receipt of cash. During 2009-109, such cash settlement amounted to ` 76,942.78
crore (US $ 17,045.37 million). The settlement of futures and options involved ` 62,050.97 crore
(US $ 13,746.34 million) and ` 14,891.81 (US $ 3,299.03 million) respectively. The details of
settlement in the futures and options segment is presented in Table 6-12.
• The financial soundness of the members is the key to risk management. Therefore, the
requirements for membership in terms of capital adequacy (net worth, security deposits) are
quite stringent. These requirements have already been explained in Table 2-1 in Chapter 2 of
this publication.
117
• NSCCL charges an upfront initial margin for all the open positions of a Clearing Member (CM).
It specifies the initial margin requirements for each futures/options contract on a daily basis.
It follows VaR-based margining computed through SPAN. The CM in turn collects the initial
margin from the trading members (TMs) and their respective clients.
• The open positions of the members are marked to market based on contract settlement price
for each contract at the end of the day. The difference is settled in cash on a T+1 basis.
• NSCCL’s on-line position monitoring system monitors a CM’s open position on a real-time basis.
Limits are set for each CM based on his effective deposits. The on-line position monitoring
system generates alert messages whenever a CM reaches 70 %, 80 %, 90 % and a disablement
message at 100 % of the limit. NSCCL monitors the CMs for Initial Margin violation, Exposure
margin violation, while TMs are monitored for Initial Margin violation and position limit
violation.
• CMs are provided a trading terminal for the purpose of monitoring the open positions of all
the TMs clearing and settling through him. A CM may set limits for a TM clearing and settling
through him. NSCCL assists the CM to monitor the intra-day limits set up by a CM and whenever
a TM exceed the limits, it stops that particular TM from further trading.
• A member is alerted of his position to enable him to adjust his exposure or bring in additional
capital. Margin violations result in disablement of trading facility for all TMs of a CM in case
of a violation by the CM.
• A separate Settlement Guarantee Fund for this segment has been created out of deposits of
members.
The most critical component of risk containment mechanism for F&O segment is the margining
system and on-line position monitoring. The actual position monitoring and margining is carried
out on-line through Parallel Risk Management System (PRISM) using SPAN(R)3∗ (Standard Portfolio
Analysis of Risk) system for the purpose of computation of on-line margins, based on the parameters
defined by SEBI.
NSE - SPAN ®
The objective of NSE-SPAN is to identify overall risk in a portfolio of all futures and options
contracts for each member. The system treats futures and options contracts uniformly, while at
the same time recognising the unique exposures associated with options portfolios, like extremely
deep out-of-the-money short positions and inter-month risk.
Its over-riding objective is to determine the largest loss that a portfolio might reasonably be
expected to suffer from one day to the next day based on 99% VaR methodology.
SPAN considers uniqueness of option portfolios. The following factors affect the value of an
option:
i. Underlying market price.
ii. Volatility (variability) of underlying instrument, and
iii. Time to expiration.
As these factors change, the value of options maintained within a portfolio also changes. Thus,
SPAN constructs scenarios of probable changes in underlying prices and volatilities in order to
identify the largest loss a portfolio might suffer from one day to the next. It then sets the margin
requirement to cover this one-day loss.
3 SPAN ® is a registered trademark of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) used here under license.
118
The complex calculations (e.g. the pricing of options) in SPAN are executed by NSCCL. The results
of these calculations are called risk arrays. Risk arrays, and other necessary data inputs for margin
calculation are provided to members daily in a file called the SPAN Risk Parameter file. Members
can apply the data contained in the Risk Parameter files, to their specific portfolios of futures and
options contracts, to determine their SPAN margin requirements.
Hence, members need not execute a complex option pricing calculations, which is performed by
NSCCL. SPAN has the ability to estimate risk for combined futures and options portfolios, and also
re-value the same under various scenarios of changing market conditions.
NSCCL generates six risk parameters file for a day taking into account price and volatilities at
various time intervals and are provided on the website of the Exchange.
Margins
• Initial margin: Margin in the F&O segment is computed by NSCCL upto client level for open
positions of CMs/TMs. These are required to be paid up-front on gross basis at individual client
level for client positions and on net basis for proprietary positions. NSCCL collects initial
margin for all the open positions of a CM based on the margins computed by NSE-SPAN. A CM
is required to ensure collection of adequate initial margin from his TMs up-front. The TM is
required to collect adequate initial margins up-front from his clients.
• Premium Margin: In addition to Initial Margin, Premium Margin is charged at client level.
This margin is required to be paid by a buyer of an option till the premium settlement is
complete.
• Assignment Margin for Options on Securities: Assignment margin is levied in addition to initial
margin and premium margin. It is required to be paid on assigned positions of CMs towards
interim and final exercise settlement obligations for option contracts on individual securities,
till such obligations are fulfilled. The margin is charged on the net exercise settlement value
payable by a CM towards interim and final exercise settlement.
• Exposure Margins: Clearing members are subject to exposure margins in addition to initial
margins.
• Client Margins: NSCCL intimates all members of the margin liability of each of their client.
Additionally members are also required to report details of margins collected from clients to
NSCCL, which holds in trust client margin monies to the extent reported by the member as
having been collected form their respective clients.
Position Limits
The market wide limit of open position (in terms of the number of underlying stock) on futures and
option contracts on a particular underlying stock should be 20% of the number of shares held by
non-promoters in the relevant underlying security i.e. free–float holding. This limit is applicable
on all open positions in all futures and option contracts on a particular underlying stock. The
enforcement of the market wide limits is done in the following manner:
• At end of the day the exchange tests whether the market wide open interest for any scrip
exceeds 95% of the market wide position limit for that scrip. In case it does so, the exchange
takes note of open position of all client/TMs as at end of that day for that scrip and from next
day onwards they can trade only to decrease their positions through offsetting positions.
119
• At the end of each day during which the ban on fresh positions is in force for any scrip,
the exchange tests whether any member or client has increased his existing positions or
has created a new position in that scrip. If so, that client is subject to a penalty equal to
a specified percentage (or basis points) of the increase in the position (in terms of notional
value). The penalty is recovered before trading begins next day.
• The normal trading in the scrip is resumed after the open outstanding position comes down
to 80% or below of the market wide position limit. Further, the exchange also checks on
a monthly basis, whether a stock has remained subject to the ban on new position for a
significant part of the month consistently for three months. If so, then the exchange phases
out derivative contracts on that underlying.
The trading member position limits in equity index futures contracts is higher of ` 500 Crore or
15% of the total open interest in the market in equity index futures contracts. This limit would be
applicable on open positions in all futures contracts on a particular underlying index.
The trading member position limits in equity index option contracts is higher of ` 500 Crore or
15% of the total open interest in the market in equity index option contracts. This limit would be
applicable on open positions in all option contracts on a particular underlying index.
i. For stocks having applicable market-wise position limit (MWPL) of ` 500 crores or more,
the combined futures and options position limit is 20% of applicable MWPL or ` 300 crores,
whichever is lower and within which stock futures position cannot exceed 10% of applicable
MWPL or ` 150 crores, whichever is lower.
ii. For stocks having applicable market-wise position limit (MWPL) less than ` 500 crores, the
combined futures and options position limit would be 20% of applicable MWPL and futures
position cannot exceed 20% of applicable MWPL or ` 50 crore which ever is lower. The Clearing
Corporation shall specify the trading member-wise position limits on the last trading day of
the month which shall be reckoned for the purpose during the next month.
The gross open position for each client, across all the derivative contracts on an underlying,
should not exceed 1% of the free float market capitalization (in terms of number of shares) or 5%
of the open interest in all derivative contracts in the same underlying stock (in terms of number
of shares) whichever is higher.
Any person or persons acting in concert who together own 15% or more of the open interest on a
particular underlying index is required to report this fact to the Exchange/ Clearing Corporation.
Failure to do so shall be treated as a violation and shall attract appropriate penal and disciplinary
action in accordance with the Rules, Byelaws and Regulations of Clearing Corporation.
120
Position limits for FII, Mutual Funds:
FII & MF Position limits in Index options contracts: FII & MF position limit in all index options
contracts on a particular underlying index is ` 500 Crores or 15 % of the total open interest of the
market in index options, whichever is higher. This limit would be applicable on open positions in
all options contracts on a particular underlying index.
FII & MF Position limits in Index futures contracts : FII & MF position limit in all index futures
contracts on a particular underlying index is ` 500 crores or 15 % of the total open interest of the
market in index futures, whichever is higher. This limit would be applicable on open positions in
all futures contracts on a particular underlying index.
In addition to the above, FIIs & MF’s shall take exposure in equity index deriv atives subject to
the following limits:
a) Short positions in index derivatives (short futures, short calls and long puts) not exceeding (in
notional value) the FII’s / MF’s holding of stocks.
b) Long positions in index derivatives (long futures, long calls and short puts) not exceeding
(in notional value) the FII’s / MF’s holding of cash, government securities, T-Bills and similar
instruments.
The FIIs should report to the clearing members (custodian) the extent of the FIIs holding of stocks,
cash, government securities, T-bills and similar instruments before the end of the day. The clearing
