  • (i) The voting period begins on 27[th] September, 2021 at 10:00 A.M., Monday and ends on 29[th] September, 2021 at 5 P.M., Wednesday. During this period shareholders’ of the Company, holding shares either in physical form or in dematerialized form, as on the cutoff date (record date) of 23[rd] September, 2021 may cast their vote electronically.

However, it has been observed that the participation by the public non-institutional shareholders/retail shareholders is at a negligible level.

Currently, there are multiple e-voting service providers (ESPs) providing e-voting facility to listed entities in India. This necessitates registration on various ESPs and maintenance of multiple user IDs and passwords by the shareholders.

In order to increase the efficiency of the voting process, pursuant to a public consultation, it has been decided to enable e-voting to all the demat account holders, by way of a single login credential, through their demat accounts/ websites of Depositories/ Depository Participants. Demat account holders would be able to cast their vote without having to register again with the ESPs, thereby, not only facilitating seamless authentication but also enhancing ease and convenience of participating in e-voting process.
