brokerage offering highest margin for option writing

#1
I am intrested in credit ratio spread option strategies. It is something like
sell 3 Nifty call 10600
Buy 1 Nifty Call 10500
the position are held for several days.

Currently zerodha allows this with a margin Rs. 1.39 lakhs. Is there any other brokerage that will allow such position with less margin?

afaik exchange has some guidelines but the actual margin calls are from broker. there are some traders who have a very good track record. approach a local broker and they wont give u a margin headache at all.

Wow, is that so? I thought span margin is required by exchange. Do you know of any broker who blocks less than SPAN margin? Asthatrader will allow the above strategy with rs 74,000 which is the span margin.

I don't, you can inquire personally but i'm aware that many traders are doing this.
