Writing a put option means selling a contract, collecting the premium, and taking on the obligation to buy the underlying at the strike price if the buyer exercises. On Zerodha Kite this is a sell-to-open order on the NFO segment. The writer’s gain is capped at the premium received; the loss is the strike minus the premium, realised in full only if the underlying falls to zero. That makes a short put a large but bounded risk, the structural difference from the unlimited risk of a naked short call .
