My question is:
1. is this possible to shortsell call/put?
2. is there anyother charges applicable for this?
Yes. It is possible to short using options.
Each option chain is a tradeable instrument on its own. i.e NIFTY MAY 3000 CALL is one instrument, and NIFTY MAY 3000 PUT is another instrument.
So if you Sell any instrument before buying or owning it, it is called shorting.
You can short stocks/ options or anything for that matter as long as u find the other party to buy from you and there is medium like exchange to settle it.

Brokerage, STT, Service Tax are the charges that u have to pay which is no different from any other transaction.
Third question that you have not asked but still I am highlighting here
"What is the risk of short selling option ?".
Answer is - Shortselling option has very very high risk and if you don't understand it, then probably you will blow your account in very short time.
So learn option trading before going ahead with short selling route.
Happy Trading.
