11. THE INTRUCTIONS OF SHAREHOLDERS FOR E-VOTING ARE AS UNDER:

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.
