Dear friends and respected seniors,
On 15th october, 2018, i had sold PE options of tatamotors of 190 strike price, because i was expecting tatamotors' month end price to be below 190 and i wanted to take delivery of shares on expiry. Tatamotors closed at around 166 on month end, but i didnt get delivery of shares. Please guide me, what did i do wrong ? Do i have to inform broker in advance for taking delivery of shares ? My broker is Upstox, i contacted them too, but they are just sending me pdf documents of rules and guidelines and SEBI circulars and are not answering my queries :( Can someone please kindly tell me why i didnt get delivery of shares :(
Awaiting your replies.
Thank you.

Is Tata Motors in the list of stocks to be physically settled in Oct Series?
Last I checked, there were 46 and 2 more were added so around 48 are on that list.
I didn't find it anywhere.

Yes, if shares are physically settled on the list, only then.
There are other minor requirements like Cash should be available, and the broker does not auto-square-off etc, check with Broker for specific details.

The list doesn't change every month but some tinkering keeps happening periodically. SEBI has planned to take all F&O stocks ultimately. This is similar to other developed mkts.
You need to check NSE (or other Exchange) circulars.

First,
Sold PE options because you were expecting prices to go down???
I think you're look at it only from a single Leg Trading angle.

Only when you're Short Puts, do you become eligible for Delivery (Buying).

If you are short calls or long puts, you have to deliver the shares as per settlement.

Notional PnL is a different matter, but that why he was expecting delivery.

If you are expecting the prices to go down you can buy Puts and then just buy the shares at month end.

Like he could have bought 190 Puts and bought shares at month end.

Many ppl often execute the same strategy.

It is only that OP got caught up in using words like "expecting". Its upto to him to explain it.

I clarified why Short Puts will be eligible for delivery.

As for strategy,
If he bought puts and price went up, he loses premium and that's a straight loss trade. ( Buying shares at higher prices is even more painful )

Options sellers will try to Sell PE, if prices went up, you profit from PE premium, else buy the shares instead and hold them until they pay-off.
Getting delivery guarantees a locked in price, so future price fluctuations (gaps etc) won't affect the eventual buy price.
Trade date will be expiry, and buy price is settlement price.

Hope you see the difference in both.
