Adjustment of F&O contracts of ONGC due to dividend

Mon, 09 Nov 2026 08:25:40 +0530

As per the NSE circular, November 12, 2026, the strikes of ONGC options and the base price of the futures contracts will be revised due to extraordinary dividends.

Adjustment for future contracts:

All positions in futures contracts of ONGC will be marked-to-market on the last cum-dividend date, i.e. November 11, 2026, based on the daily settlement price of the respective futures contract. Subsequently, open positions will be carried forward at the daily settlement price less ₹8 (dividend amount) for the respective futures contract.

From November 12, 2026 (ex-dividend date), daily mark-to-market settlement of the futures contracts will continue as per normal procedures.

For example:

Assume you bought 1 lot (2250 quantities) of ONGC November futures on November 11, 2026, at ₹234, and the daily settlement price at market close is ₹240, you would have made a mark-to-market profit of ₹6 per share.

On November 12, 2026, the previous day’s position will be carried forward at ₹232 (i.e. 240 − 8). If the closing price on November 12, 2026, is ₹237, you’ll make a mark-to-market profit of ₹5 per share.

Adjustment for option contracts:

The full value of the dividend, i.e. ₹8, will be deducted from all the cum-dividend strike prices on the ex-dividend date. All positions in existing strike prices will continue to exist in the corresponding new adjusted strike prices.

For example:

The strike price of the ₹235 Call Option will be reduced to ₹227 on November 12, 2026, and the positions in the ₹235 Call Option will continue to exist in the ₹227 Call Option.

The lot size of the F&O contracts will not change.

Also, if you hold equity shares of ONGC in your Demat account as of November 12, 2026 (ex-date), you will be entitled to receive the dividend, which will be credited directly to your primary bank account within 30 to 45 days from the record date.

Adjustment of F&O contracts of PETRONET due to dividend

Wed, 04 Nov 2026 08:22:37 +0530

As per the NSE circular, November 06, 2026, the strikes of PETRONET options and the base price of the futures contracts will be revised due to extraordinary dividends.

Adjustment for future contracts:

All positions in futures contracts of PETRONET will be marked-to-market on the last cum-dividend date, i.e. November 05, 2026, based on the daily settlement price of the respective futures contract. Subsequently, open positions will be carried forward at the daily settlement price less ₹7 (dividend amount) for the respective futures contract.

From November 06, 2026 (ex-dividend date), daily mark-to-market settlement of the futures contracts will continue as per normal procedures.

For example:

Assume you bought 1 lot (1900 quantities) of PETRONET November futures on November 05, 2026, at ₹311, and the daily settlement price at market close is ₹318, you would have made a mark-to-market profit of ₹7 per share.

On November 06, 2026, the previous day’s position will be carried forward at ₹311 (i.e. 318 − 7). If the closing price on November 06, 2026, is ₹315, you’ll make a mark-to-market profit of ₹4 per share.

Adjustment for option contracts:

The full value of the dividend, i.e. ₹7, will be deducted from all the cum-dividend strike prices on the ex-dividend date. All positions in existing strike prices will continue to exist in the corresponding new adjusted strike prices.

For example:

The strike price of the ₹305 Call Option will be reduced to ₹298 on November 06, 2026, and the positions in the ₹305 Call Option will continue to exist in the ₹298 Call Option.

The lot size of the F&O contracts will not change.

Also, if you hold equity shares of PETRONET in your Demat account as of November 06, 2026 (ex-date), you will be entitled to receive the dividend, which will be credited directly to your primary bank account within 30 to 45 days from the record date.

Changes to Closing Auction Session (CAS) from December 7, 2026.

Fri, 16 Oct 2026 16:16:10 +0530

SEBI has announced changes to the Closing Auction Session (CAS), market closing timings, and F&O settlement methodology. These changes will come into effect from December 7, 2026.

Currently, regular trading in stocks covered under CAS ends at 3:15 PM, followed by an auction session until 3:35 PM. Other stocks continue trading until 3:30 PM, while index and stock F&O contracts trade until 3:40 PM.

On expiry days, the final settlement prices for expiring index and stock F&O contracts are based on closing prices determined through CAS.

Here's what will change from December 7:

- Index and stock trading hours: Regular trading in all stocks, including those covered under CAS, will continue until 3:30 PM.

- Closing Auction Session: CAS will be shortened from 20 minutes to 10 minutes, running from 3:30 PM to 3:40 PM. Market and limit orders will be accepted from 3:31 PM to 3:36 PM, followed by only limit orders. The session will close randomly between 3:38 PM and 3:40 PM.

- F&O settlement: The final settlement prices for expiring index and stock F&O contracts will be calculated using volume-weighted average prices (VWAP) from the last 30 minutes of regular trading (3:00 PM to 3:30 PM), instead of CAS closing prices.

- Index F&O trading hours: Trading will continue until 3:45 PM on all days. However, on expiry days, expiring index F&O contracts will stop trading at 3:30 PM, while non-expiring contracts can trade until 3:45 PM.

- Stock F&O trading hours: Trading will continue until 3:45 PM on all days, including expiry days.
