On expiry day i.e last Thursday of month all open F&O contracts are auto squared off if the traders/investor fails to square off. The Future contracts are settled at closing price of underlying assets. In case of call seller, if the person fails to square off his position, then settlement price depends upon whether the call option is in the money or out of the money.Further of the contracts are auto square off the trader/investor is required to pay higher STT.
