Query regarding exercise of options

#1
When I exercise my option, is the current spot price considered or the end-of-day price?

For example, I have a Infosys 1900 call option. At 1pm Infosys is at 2000 and I exericse my option at 1pm. Do I get the price at 1pm which is 2000 or do I get the price at the end of day (which might be substantially different from 2000)??

Thanks

thanks for your quick reply!

Can you point me to the website where this and other such information is present? I tried to find it but could not even after 2 hours of searching.

Thanks

I had already read that website. I could not find it mentioned anywhere that exercise is based on EOD closing price.

Any other pointers?

Thanks
