3 brokers approve spreads on index options for residents of India. The same facts for each: fees, approvals, countries.

Traders often build it on SPX, whose options settle in cash and can only be exercised at expiration, so no leg is assigned early. Check that the broker takes a four-leg order on SPX and what the four legs cost in fees. 3 brokers approve spreads on index options for residents of India.
