Why i am i not able to take positions in illiquid option contracts?

I have been facing this issue like since long. The problem with Upstox is I cannot take position in most of the far dated options because it is illiquid. Where as i can easily take positions in such contracts with other brokers demat account. This is very very irritating.
Is there anything you guys can help me with

Thanks

Hey @Krishna_kant,

Please note that currently trading is restricted in Stock Option contracts with a volume of less than 100. Also, far OTM/DEEP ITM Stock Options contracts will be blocked as well for trading.

You can read more about it here: uptx.to/illiquidOptn Let us know in case you’ve any other query!

Hey @TEJASHWI_BHASKAR,

Welcome to Upstox Community!

In order to avoid volatile market conditions, all stock options with trade volume less than 100 are put under illiquid state. You can read more here: https://uptx.to/illiquidOptn.

Do check and let us know if you are still facing the issue. Thanks.
