thebalanced.newsSEBI Proposes Framework to Enhance Options Strike Price Management Amid Volatility
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has proposed a standardized framework to manage options strike prices across equity, currency, and commodity derivatives markets. The framework aims to improve trading continuity during sharp intraday volatility by ensuring the availability of a minimum number of in-the-money and out-of-the-money contracts, enabling daily reviews, and allowing intraday introduction of new strike prices without system disruptions. Exchanges will have operational flexibility and must publish their strike management policies for transparency. The proposal is open for market feedback until June 15.
