Suitable volatility forecast models are used for Sensex and Nifty returns to show that: In this paper the researcher analyse the NIFTY 50 spot market daily price compared to Index options Nifty 50 at NSE market for the period of 2011-2015 (5 years). There is a mixed evidence of return and volatility between the Nifty spot and options in the Indian market of NSE. Empirical application of Nifty 50 at NSE volatility rate of return
