SEBI has proposed converting ITM options into futures contracts a day before expiry to address risks from sudden price shifts. This aims to enhance market stability and minimise financial risks for traders.
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has proposed a new framework for in-the-money (ITM) single stock options. Under this framework, ITM options will be converted into futures contracts on the day before expiry (E-1 day). The move aims to mitigate risks associated with unexpected price movements that may push out-of-the-money (OTM) options into the ITM category, thereby avoiding last-minute physical delivery obligations. Public feedback on this proposal is open until December 26, 2024.

ITM single stock options will convert into futures contracts one day before expiry (E-1 day).
Traders can close futures positions or hold them until expiry day (E day).
Unclosed futures positions will settle through physical delivery on expiry day.

This proposal addresses challenges arising from last-minute price changes that force OTM options into the ITM category, creating large, unexpected delivery obligations. By converting ITM options into futures, SEBI aims to give traders greater flexibility in managing their positions. The futures contracts allow traders to decide whether to close positions or carry them over without immediate delivery commitments.
Aspect | Current Practice | Proposed Framework |
ITM Options Expiry | Direct physical delivery | Conversion to futures contracts |
Settlement on Expiry Day | Immediate delivery required | Traders can close or settle later |
Risk of Price Volatility | High risk for last-minute ITM conversions | Reduced through early conversion |
While this proposal focuses on strengthening the derivatives market, its impact on SEBI share price remains neutral as the organisation continues to work towards market stability. The changes may indirectly improve investor confidence in market regulations.
SEBI’s proposed changes aim to bring stability and flexibility to the trading of single stock options. By converting ITM options into futures contracts ahead of expiry, SEBI seeks to minimise risks, reduce volatility, and streamline settlement processes. Public feedback on the proposal will help shape its implementation, potentially marking a significant shift in how options contracts are managed in India’s financial markets.
