Format of Options Contract Input Screen
Apart from a common header for capturing details of the product under which the contract is
initiated and reference numbers for the contract, the ‘Contract Input’ screen has four tabs:

Main – for capturing details common to all OTC options.

Interest Rate Options / Currency Options– based on the product type (IRO / CO), any
