As of 15:40 IST on 28 Oct 2026, LIC (LICI) ATM implied volatility for the 23 Nov expiry is 24.82% at the 390.00 strike. Implied volatility is the annualised move that option premiums are pricing in: higher IV makes options dearer to buy and pays sellers more premium.
Which LIC (LICI) strikes saw the biggest OI build-up or unwinding today?

Change in open interest is measured against the previous session's close. A build-up means fresh positions are being written at that strike; unwinding means traders are closing them out.
What is the lot size of LIC (LICI), and what is one contract worth at today's price?
As of 15:40 IST on 28 Oct 2026, LIC (LICI) lot size for the 23 Nov expiry is 1,400 shares. At a spot price of 391.10, one contract is worth ₹5,47,540. Options trade only in whole lots, so premium × lot size is the rupee cost of one lot. NSE revises stock lot sizes from time to time, so confirm it before you place an order.
When do LIC (LICI) options expire?
Stock options on NSE have monthly expiries only — there are no weekly contracts on individual stocks. The LIC (LICI) expiry shown on this chain is 23 Nov 2026. Three monthly expiries trade at a time — near, next and far month — and the expiry selector above the chain switches between them. Time value decays fastest in the final days, so near-month premiums fall quickly as expiry approaches.
How are LIC (LICI) options settled at expiry?
Stock options on NSE are physically settled. An in-the-money LIC (LICI) option held to expiry becomes a delivery obligation: a long Call or a short Put means you take delivery of LICI shares and pay their full value, while a long Put or a short Call means you deliver the shares. Out-of-the-money options expire worthless. To avoid delivery, square off or roll the position before expiry.
How much margin do you need to trade LIC (LICI) options?
Buying a LIC (LICI) Call or Put needs only the premium — option price × lot size, paid upfront. Selling (writing) an option needs SPAN plus exposure margin set by the exchange, which is usually far larger than the premium because the seller's risk is open-ended. In-the-money positions also attract additional delivery margin in the last few days before expiry, because stock options settle by physical delivery.
