Profit/loss calc at expiry if future price is less than cash price

#2
I think the closing price of Reliance is 1274.7. On expiry day, the near month futures get settled at the underlying price. The lot size of Reliance is 300. So your profit would be 300*(1274.7-1271.1) = Rs. 1080 excluding brokerage, STT etc.

Thanks ivanboesky.. I appreciate your immediate reply to the query

In general, I understand the calculation now to be as
lot size * ( closing price in cash mkt - future purchase price)
