If a Member has voted through e-voting facility, he is not required to send the Postal Ballot Form.

Please note that any Postal Ballot Form(s) received after the said date will be treated as invalid. No other form or photocopy thereof is permitted.

The Scrutinizer will submit his report to the Chairman or to any other authorized person of the Company after the completion of the scrutiny of the Postal Ballots (including e-voting). The results will be announced on or before Monday, 25th March 2019 at the Registered Office of the Company at Tirlokpur Road, Kala Amb, Distt. Sirmour, Himachal Pradesh-173030. The results of the Postal Ballot will also be displayed along with the Scrutinizer's report, on our website www.ruchirapapers.com besides being communicated to the Stock Exchange, where the Company's Equity Shares are listed.
