NSE Nifty Option Review

I just found out in a seminar that NSE Nifty Option has the highest volume in the world.  I was so excited as that is the last exchange in Asia Pacific available for trading Options in Interactive Broker (IB).

The Option Spec in NSE wasn't structure in the same 'standard' way as other Option Spec. (http://www.nseindia.com/products/content/derivatives/equities/contract_specifitns.htmhttp://www.nseindia.com/products/content/derivatives/equities/contract_specifitns.htm)

I decided to come back to review Option Spec later and just try to setup some charts, Option Chain to see the bid/ask spead and to test some execution.  I immediately get the pop screen:


Chat up with IB customer support, I was told that:

 "Currently as per Indian regulations only India residents, Non Resident Indians (NRIs) and Companies registered in India are allowed to trade on India markets"

That ended the review on the last exchange in Asia Pacific for trading Options via IB.
