Exercising option - buying underlying commodity/stock
In india it is not possible to buy underlying. Instead the difference of closing price and strike price is paid to the client.
If your option is in the money , it is automatically exercised and the difference of price ( closing price - strike) is credited to the account. All out-of-the money options expire worthless.
You have to call your broker to place exercise call in case you want to exercise before expiry date.
When an exercise call is placed , it is randomly assigned to one of the option writer and he is obliged to pay.
