Are you a day trader?

When you buy an Options contract, you don't need to pay a margin as your loss is limited. You need to pay a premium amount. Your loss will be limited to the value of premium.

When you sell an Options contract, you need to pay a margin requirement as there is a chance of unlimited loss and limited profit. So you need to maintain the margin amount as decided by the exchange.
