In both dfs, I want to filter only those rows where date and time is present in both. I have tried isin for same. But it is not working as expected.

option=option[(option.date.isin(nifty.date)) & (option.time.isin(nifty.time))]  
nifty=nifty[(nifty.date.isin(option.date)) & (nifty.time.isin(option.time))]

Can anybody help me on this. My expected output is:

nifty

    name      date   time      open      high       low     close

Use merge for this on 'date' and 'time' only, this way both your df's will return a subset for the matching values;

nifty_ = nifty.merge(option[['date','time']])

option_ = option.merge(nifty[['date', 'time']])
