Covered call kya hai, kaise use karein India mein, income strategy — complete Hindi guide.
Covered call ek income strategy hai jahan tumhare paas pehle se stocks hain aur tum upar se call option bechte ho. Premium milta hai, but upside limited ho jaata hai.
Simple definition: > Covered call = Stock rakho + Call becho = Premium income + Limited upside
Ye baatein dhyaan mein rakho:
• Step 1: 100 shares of Reliance @ ₹2,500 (cost: ₹2,50,000)
• Step 2: Sell 2,600 CE @ ₹50 premium
• Step 3: Premium received: ₹50 × 25 (lot size) = ₹1,250
• If Reliance stays below ₹2,600:
• ✅ Keep shares + Keep premium = ₹1,250 income
• If Reliance goes above ₹2,600:
• ✅ Shares called away at ₹2,600
• ✅ Profit: (₹2,600 - ₹2,500) × 25 = ₹2,500
• ✅ Plus premium: ₹1,250
• ✅ Total: ₹3,750 (but missed upside beyond ₹2,600)
Ye chhe baatein dhyaan mein rakho:

• ₹2,600 — Stock P&L: +₹2,500, Option P&L: +₹1,250, Total P&L: +₹3,750
• ₹2,700 — Stock P&L: +₹5,000, Option P&L: -₹1,250, Total P&L: +₹3,750
• ₹2,800 — Stock P&L: +₹7,500, Option P&L: -₹3,750, Total P&L: +₹3,750
