  • (17) The voting on the Resolutions proposed in this Notice will be done only by Electronic Voting (remote e-voting). As per the Section 2(65) of the Act, the term 'Postal Ballot' means voting by post or through any electronic mode. For avoidance of any doubt due to the general understanding of meaning of 'postal ballot' as voting by post (which is not contemplated in this Notice), the term 'remote e-voting' is consciously used in this Notice (instead of using the term 'postal ballot') which appropriately clarifies that the manner of voting on the Resolutions are restricted to voting only through remote e-voting.
