How Futures & Options will get adjusted?*

In general, dividends below 5% of the market worth of the underlying stock are deemed peculiar dividends and no adjustment in the strike value is made. However, in the case of extraordinary dividends that are at or above 5% of the market worth of the underlying safety, the strike value is adjusted.

With BPCL, it is a case of extraordinary dividends. For BPCL, the whole dividend quantity will be lowered from all the strike costs of the choices contracts. For instance, if a trader is holding a Call at strike 500, the new strike value relevant on the ex-date would turn into 442 after deducting Rs 58 per share. The revised strike costs can be relevant from the ex-dividend date specified by the change.
