A call option is out-of-money when its strike price is above the current market price of the underlier (stock) . For example, if you bought a 5000 NIFTY CALL OPTION and NIFTY is trading at 4900 the call option is out of money. A Put option is out-of-money when its strike price is below the current market price of the underlier (stock) . For example, if you bought a 5000 NIFTY PUT OPTION and NIFTY is trading at 5100 the put option is in-the-money.
