Next monthly (last Tuesday of the month) expiry: 25 August 2026 (Tuesday). Lot size 25. Weekly options on Nifty IT were discontinued in November 2024 under SEBI&#8217;s one weekly index per exchange rule; only monthly contracts remain.<\/em><\/p>\n<div style=\"background: #F0F9FF; border-left: 4px solid #2E7D32; border-radius: 6px; padding: 14px 18px; margin: 18px 0;\">\n<p style=\"margin: 0; color: #1f4e79; font-size: 14px;\"><strong>Quick Answer<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 8px 0 0;\">The bull call spread Nifty IT is a two leg options strategy that buys a lower strike call and sells a higher strike call on the same monthly expiry, creating a defined risk, defined reward trade that may profit from a moderate upside move. With Nifty IT at Rs 38,548, the bull call spread Nifty IT costs a net debit at entry, which is the maximum loss. The maximum profit is capped at the difference between the two strikes minus the net debit, multiplied by the lot size. Because Nifty IT only trades monthly contracts, the bull call spread Nifty IT typically targets a move that plays out over several weeks rather than a few days.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The this strategy is a popular alternative to buying an outright call because it reduces the net cost of the position. By selling a higher strike call, the bull call spread Nifty IT offsets part of the premium paid for the lower strike call, reducing the breakeven point and lowering the capital at risk. The trade off is that the profit is capped at the higher strike.<\/p>\n<p>Because Nifty IT discontinued weekly options in November 2024, every the position built today uses the monthly contract. This gives a moderately bullish view more time to play out compared with a Nifty 50 weekly bull call spread, but also means the position is exposed to a longer stretch of potential adverse news or sector specific developments.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 24px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/user\/log-in?utm_source=blogs&amp;utm_medium=bull-call-spread-nifty-it\"><strong>Click Here &#8211;
