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/ web sites of Depositories/ Depository Participants. Demat account holders would be able to cast their vote without having to register again with the e-voting service providers, thereby, not only facilitating seamless authentication but also enhancing ease and convenience of participating in e-voting process. Individual shareholders holding securities in demat mode are allowed to vote through their demat account maintained with Depositories and Depository Participants. Shareholders are advised to update their mobile number and email Id in their demat accounts in order to access e-Voting facility.

    1. The resolutions as set out in this Notice are being conducted through e-voting. The said resolutions will not be decided by show of hands at the AGM. The members can opt for only one mode of voting i.e. either by remote e-voting or by electronic ballot at the meeting. The members who have cast their vote by remote e-voting are eligible to attend the AGM but shall not be entitled to cast their vote again. In case of any unforeseen technical failure or eventuality resulting into nonfunctionality of the electronic voting system at the meeting, members would be provided the ballot paper for casting their vote at the meeting.
    1. In this Notice and Annexure(s) thereto the terms "Shareholders" and "Members" are used interchangeably.
