Item No. 4

Price Waterhouse Chartered Accountants LLP (Firm registration no. - 012754N / N500016), Chartered Accountants, were appointed as the Statutory Auditors of the Company at the 60th Annual General Meeting of the Company held on 27 April 2017, for a period of 5 years, to hold office from the conclusion of the 60th Annual General Meeting until the conclusion of the 65th Annual General Meeting of the Company to be held in the year 2022, subject to ratification of their appointment by the Members at every Annual General Meeting. Their appointment was ratified at the 61st Annual General Meeting held on 24 April 2018 for a period of one year till the conclusion of the 62nd Annual General Meeting.

The Companies (Amendment) Act, 2017, has amended Section 139(1) of the Companies Act, 2013, effective from 7 May 2018, whereby first proviso to Section 139(1) is omitted which provided for ratification of appointment of the Statutory Auditors by the Members at every Annual General Meeting.

In view of the aforesaid amendment and the ratification obtained at the 61st Annual General Meeting held on 24 April 2018, which is valid till the conclusion of the 62nd Annual General Meeting, fresh approval of the Members is sought for

==> picture [150 x 43] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [596 x 109] intentionally omitted <==

ratification of appointment of Price Waterhouse Chartered Accountants LLP, as the Statutory Auditors of the Company, for the remaining term of 3 (three) years i.e., from the conclusion of this Annual General Meeting till the conclusion of the 65th Annual General Meeting to be held in the year 2022, as recommended by the Audit Committee and proposed by the Board of Directors of the Company.

The Members of the Company should note that the Securities Exchange Board of India (“the SEBI”) had issued an order against the various firms of Price Waterhouse including Price Waterhouse Chartered Accountants LLP, the Statutory Auditors of your Company, (“PwC” or “the PwC”) which inter alia, directed that entities / firms practicing as Chartered Accountants in India under the brand and banner of PW, shall not directly or indirectly issue any certificate of audit of listed companies, compliance of obligations of listed companies and intermediaries registered with SEBI and the requirements under the SEBI Act, 1992, the SCRA 1956, the Depositories Act, 1996, those provisions of the Companies Act 2013 which are administered by SEBI under section 24 thereof, the Rules, Regulations and Guidelines made under those Acts which are administered by SEBI for a period of two years. However, Applicants / Appellants were allowed to complete their ongoing tasks till 31 March 2018.

Later, the Securities Appellate Tribunal of India (“the SAT”) passed an order on 15 February 2018, allowing PwC to continue with conducting audit of its existing clients till 31 March 2019 or till a Division Bench hears and decides the matter. Against the said order, PwC went in to appeal to the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India. The Hon’ble Supreme Court thereafter, vide their order dated 7 December 2018, inter alia held that, the interim order of the SAT should continue to operate until 31 March 2019 or until the Tribunal as properly constituted decides the appeal. Subsequently, the PwC have obtained an opinion from an Eminent Jurist who has opined that PwC can continue to act as the Statutory Auditors of their existing clients even beyond 31 March 2019, if the appeal filed by PwC to the SAT continues to remain pending till it is heard and disposed of.

In light of the above opinion, your Company therefore proposes the ratification of the appointment of PwC as the Statutory Auditors of the Company for the remaining term of 3 (three) years i.e., from the conclusion of this Annual General Meeting till the conclusion of the 65th Annual General Meeting to be held in the year 2022.

As mandated by Regulation 36(5) of the SEBI (LODR) Regulations, the Board of Directors of the Company on the recommendation of the Audit Committee, propose to pay Price Waterhouse Chartered Accountants LLP, a remuneration of ₹ 52,48,000/- (Rupees fifty two lakh forty eight thousand only) plus applicable taxes thereon for the financial year ending on 31 December 2019, which if thought fit, by the Audit Committee and recommended to the Board for approval, will be paid increased audit fees, till the conclusion of their present term at the 65th Annual General Meeting to be held in the year 2022, plus reimbursement of actual out of pocket and travelling expenses, as may be mutually decided by the Board of Directors of the Company and the Statutory Auditors.

Accordingly, the Board recommends the Ordinary Resolution for approval of the Members of the Company, as laid down in Ordinary Business Item no. 4.

None of the Directors, Manager or any other key managerial personnel or any of their relatives are concerned or interested, whether financially or otherwise, in this Resolution.

The Company hereby confirms that these transactions are categorised as Related Party Transactions, which are entered into the ordinary course of business and consequently are at arm’s length price. The rate of royalty and the price paid towards royalty are reasonable. The Company has in the past been obtaining the Consultants’ Study Report every year on the Transfer Pricing under the Income Tax Act, 1961 for determination of arm’s length pricing. The Consultants’ have justified the subject payments stating that they are in the ordinary course of business and comply with arm’s length pricing principle. All transactions with the related Party(ies) are reviewed by the Audit Committee and also the Board of Directors, every quarter.

As mandated by Regulation 23(4) and 23(7), none of the Related Party(ies) as laid down in Note 30 to the Financial Statement for the year ended 31 December 2018, shall vote to approve this Resolution, irrespective of whether the entity is a Related Party to this particular transaction or not.

As the Related Party Transactions are in the ordinary course of business and at arm’s length basis, approval under Section 188 of the Companies Act 2013 is not required.

The Board recommends the Resolution at Item no. 11 for approval of the Members as an Ordinary Resolution of both the existing Licence Agreement as-well-as the transactions held with the Licensor which are considered “material”.

An authenticated copy of the above referred License Agreement will be made available for inspection by the Members of the Company during business hours on all working days up to the date of the Annual General Meeting.
