Stock Option trading symbols (21Feb instead of 25Feb)

Why do all the stock options show an expiry of 21-Feb while on the NSE website its 25-Feb

Sample 5 instruments from the market data

12630530 49338 AARTIIND21FEB1000PE AARTIIND

Also how do I get the instrument_token for the weekly expiry. The data pulled from the instrument API, seems to have only monthly expiry

@shoeshineboy,
These are monthly options instruments that will expire on the last thursday of the month that is 25th Feb 2021.

Thanks for the update @sujith, but why does the instrument list show it as 21Feb? Its also the same on the Web App.

sujith

No, where does it say 21st is the expiry?
On Kite web also it doesn't say expiry is on 21st.

We do show expiry in the market depth.
