Default Options lot size question



The options prices quoted in the NSE bhav copy do not mention the lot size.
Suppose I wanted to buy 1 Aug ITC call, how do I know what it will cost if the price quoted is 50.00?
Is there any site which provides this info?

Hi,
NSE only provides the LTP(last traded price).The lot size is available in the fo section of NSE website where u see market today link.Its a dropdown box where u can select Nifty and Nifty stocks to see their details of puts and calls of current month and next month(S) if available.
Your brokerage site can provide the current bid/offer details of the contract.
Be sure to read FAQ's on options and risks involved as well as brokerage on options.
Hope this helps.
Regards
Amit.
