Types of Options Based on Market Style

Options can be classified based on the exercise style:

American Options: Can be exercised any time before or on the expiry date. (Common in the U.S. stock market.)

European Options: Can only be exercised on the expiry date. (Used in Indian markets for index options like Nifty and Bank Nifty.)

In India, stock options are usually American-style, while index options are European-style.
