In compliance with Section 108 of the Companies Act, 2013 and Rule 20 of the Companies (Management and Administration) Rules, 2014, as substituted by the Companies (Management and Administration) Amendment Rules, 2015 (‘Amended Rules 2015’) and Regulation 44 of SEBI LODR Regulations, 2015 and in terms of SEBI Master Circular dated 11[th] November, 2024 related to “E-voting facility provided by Listed Entities” and Secretarial Standards on General Meetings (SS-2) issued by the Institute of Company Secretaries of India read with MCA Circulars and SEBI Circular, the Company is providing remote e-Voting facility to its Members in respect of the business as set forth in the accompanying Notice of AGM to be transacted at the 39[th] AGM and facility for those Members participating in the 39[th] AGM through VC / OAVM to cast vote through e-Voting during the 39[th] AGM through e-Voting services provided by CDSL.
The cut-off date for the purpose of remote e-voting and e-voting at the AGM shall be Wednesday, 03[rd] September, 2025. Please note that members can opt for only one mode of voting i.e. either by e-voting at the meeting or remote e-voting. If Members opt for remote e-voting, then they should not vote at the Meeting and vice versa. However, once an e-vote on a resolution is cast by a Member, such Member is not permitted to change it subsequently or cast the vote again.
The e-voting facility is available at the link www.evotngindia.com
(A) The instructions for shareholders for voting electronically: -
-
(i) The remote e-voting period begins on Sunday, 07[th] September, 2025 (9.00 a.m. IST) and ends on Tuesday,
-
09[th] September, 2025 (5.00 p.m. IST). During this period, shareholders of the Company holding shares either in physical form or in dematerialized form, as on the cut-off date of Wednesday, 03[rd] September, 2025, may cast their vote electronically. The e-voting shall not be allowed beyond the said time and date and e-voting module shall be disabled by CDSL for voting thereafter.
-
(ii) A person who is not a Member as on the cutoff date should treat this Notice of 39[th] AGM for information purpose only.
-
(iii) Shareholders who have casted their vote by remote e-voting prior to the meeting may also attend the meeting through VC / OAVM but shall not be entitled to cast their vote again.
-
(iv) Pursuant to SEBI Circular No. SEBI/HO/CFD/CMD/ CIR/P/2020/242 dated 9[th] December, 2020 (updated as per Master Circular No. SEBI/HO/CFD/PoD2/CIR/P/0155 dated 11[th] November, 2024) read with SEBI/HO/CFD/ CFD-PoD-2/P/CIR/2024/133 dated 3[rd] October, 2024 (“SEBI Circular”) and Regulation 44 of SEBI LODR Regulations, 2015, listed entities are required to provide remote e-voting facility to its shareholders, in respect of all shareholders’ resolutions. However, it has been observed that the participation by the public noninstitutional 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.
-
Step 1:- Access through Depositories CDSL / NSDL e-Voting system in case of individual shareholders holding shares in demat mode.
-
(v) In terms of SEBI Circular on e-Voting facility provided by Listed Companies, Individual shareholders holding shares 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.
