As per a SEBI mandate, physical settlement is compulsory if a trader holds a position in any Stock F&O contracts on expiry date.
What is Physical Settlement?

In a Stock F&O contract, when there is an open position that has not been squared off by its expiry date, Physical Settlement takes place. This implies they have to physically give/take delivery of Stocks to settle the open transactions instead of settling them with cash.
Examples of physical settlement:Futures

Long positions of 1 lot of Reliance, 250 quantity at Rs. 2000 i.e. Rs. 5 lakh contract value
F&O = 20% charges i.e. Rs. 1,00,000. This means, you are required to give Rs. 1 lakh, but if you decide to physically settle then you need to have a complete contract value of Rs. 5 lakhs.

Short positions of 1 lot Reliance 250 quantity at Rs. 2000 i.e. Rs. 5 lakh contract value
F&O = 20% charges i.e. Rs. 1,00,000. This means, you are required to give Rs. 1 lakh, but if you decide to physically settle then you need to have the holdings of 250 quantity of Reliance and Rs. 1 lakh margin money till expiry date.

Options

Long - 1 lot of Reliance, 250 quantity for strike price of Rs. 2000 Call (CE) Options.
If the underlying price of Reliance is greater than the strike price of Rs. 2000, then the contract is said to be ITM (In-The-Money). If you wish to go for physical settlement, you need to maintain a free ledger balance of Rs 5 Lakh in your account, else physical settlement would not be done.

Long - 1 lot of Reliance, 250 quantity for Strike price of Rs. 2000 Put (PE) Options.
If the underlying price of Reliance is lesser than strike price of Rs. 2000, then the contract is said to be ITM (In-The-Money). If you wish to go for physical settlement, you need to provide the Stocks (shares) equal to the lot quantity positioned to be available in Demat account, else physical settlement would not be done.

Please note -- 

- Short ITM PE options, treatment would be similar to Long ITM CE options.
Free ledger balance equal to the contract value to be maintained.
- Short ITM CE options, treatment would be similar to Long ITM PE options.
Holdings shares of lot quantity positioned to be available in Demat account.
