Bank Nifty Option Series - Availability

bluenile
Hi - looking to trade Bank Nifty options. But I get to see only month ending contract series for May but not the weeklies (i.e. expiry of 31st May is available but not of 17th & 24th). Neither do I see these series in the Zerodha Margin Calculator.

How do I access these series? Thanks.

    You can search for BANKNIFTY17MAY or BANKNIFTY24MAY in the instrument dump file to find weekly options.

    Zerodha margin calculator doesn't show margins for weekly options. You can refer monthly options for margins and it will be approximately same. I think there will be one or two thousand difference.

    Thanks! Got it.

    Hey @sujith - though the option series is accessible, only calls (CE) are shown in drop down list and only for limited strikes (this happens both on the Android app as well as website).
    For instance, I can't access 17th May BankNifty options beyond 24500CE and no PE options at all.

    You can type strike price and then type PE in the search box.
