MCX Crude Oil Options Expiry – September 2025

This is to inform all traders and investors that the MCX Crude Oil and Crude Oil Mini Options contracts expiring on September 17, 2025 will undergo the standard settlement procedure. As per the exchange framework, all in-the-money (ITM) options contracts will compulsorily devolve into the respective Crude Oil Futures contracts.

Participants holding such ITM positions must ensure that they maintain sufficient margins in their trading accounts to support the resulting futures positions. Kindly note that the required margins must be available in your account before 7:00 PM on September 17, 2025. Failure to maintain adequate funds may lead to the square-off of your positions by the Risk Management System to mitigate exposure.

Additionally, traders are reminded that on the day of expiry, fresh NRML positions are not permitted in expiring contracts. This restriction is in place to streamline the settlement process and minimize last-minute risks associated with the contract rollover.

We strongly advise clients to review their open positions well in advance of expiry and take appropriate action—whether by closing positions, rolling them over to later expiries, or maintaining the necessary margin balance.

Timely compliance will help you avoid unintended liquidation and ensure smooth transition of your contracts. For any further queries or assistance regarding margin requirements, contract expiry, or rollover process, please contact your Arihant Capital representative or reach out to our customer support desk.
