SEBI requires upfront collection of options premium from buyers as part of initial margin, mandates separate margin treatment and withdrawal of calendar-spread benefits for contracts expiring on the same day, prescribes intra-day monitoring of position limits with random snapshots, increases tail-risk coverage for short options expiring that day, recalibrates minimum contract-size criteria for new index derivatives, and limits weekly expiries to one benchmark per exchange, with exchanges and clearing corporations directed to amend rules and systems for phased implementation.
