The premium of Rs.23,288/- you receive by establishing a short strangle is higher in terms of absolute Rupees than the Rs.9,643/- for an iron condor. However, when factoring in the margin requirement, the Iron condor has a higher return on investment.
The margin required for a short strangle trade is Rs.1,45,090/-, resulting in an ROI.
23,288/1,45,090
=16%.
The margin requirement for iron condor is Rs.44,303/-. Therefore, the ROI is –
9,643/44,303
= 21%

The idea here is to first be in a long position before starting a short one.
