Futures are a binding agreement to buy or sell the underlying asset at a fixed price on a set date, while options give the buyer the right, but not the obligation, to do so, in exchange for paying a premium.

Along with your standard account opening documents, trading in F&O typically requires additional income proof, such as your last six months' bank statement, a recent salary slip, Form 16 or ITR, or your latest demat holding statement.
