For the purpose of timely consolidation of the accounts of the Company with its Subsidiary Companies, and for ensuring the uniformity in the audit process, practices and procedures in finalization of accounts and in view of the changing regulatory environment, it is advisable to have the same Group of statutory auditors for Parent Company and Subsidiary Companies.

The term of appointment is for 5 years from the date of conclusion of 77th AGM till the conclusion of 82nd AGM of the Company to be held in the year 2025. There will not be any material change in the remuneration payable to SRBA for the year ending 31st March, 2021, from that paid to PWC, the outgoing auditors.
