Do all Scrips have Derivative Contracts?
No, not all scrips listed on the stock exchange have derivative contracts associated with them. The National Stock Exchange (NSE) periodically publishes a list of securities that are eligible for Futures and Options (F&O) trading. These scrips must meet stringent criteria relating to liquidity, trading volume, and market capitalization.
Where to Check?
To see the official list of underlying securities for which derivative instruments are available, you can refer to the NSE's page: NSE Derivative-Eligible Scrips.
