Above examples seems to be correct.
But STT has to be calculated for the options - pls check if
STT value < 1200 rs or you will end up in loss.

Currently
JP ass - 54 rs
50CE - 6.35
60CE - 1.50
60PE - 7
50PE - 1.90

So Long(CE+PE) - Short(CE+PE) = 6.35+7 - 1.5 - 1.9 = 9.95.
Net profit 10 - 9.95 = 5 paise * 4000 = 200 rs.
But STT will be much more than the profit.

Jagan ji can u please answer the other question too, specially the arbitrage question? ? :)

I am not thinking about the stt now. Just checking if it can work properly.
I will try this strategy in oder stock options.
