transferor(s),

any, of the transferor supported by valid proof, is not lodged with the Company
within fifteen days of receipt of the Company's letter, then the securities
will be transferred;

investor during the intervening period on account of such delay.

that when the signature of the transferor(s) is attested by a person authorised
by the Department of Company Affairs, u/s 108(1A) of the Companies Act, 1956,

difference unless it has reasons to believe that a forgery or fraud is
involved.

promptly notify NSE of any attachment or prohibitory orders restraining the
Issuer from transferring securities out of the names of the registered holders
and furnish to NSE particulars of the numbers of securities so affected, the

thereof.

shareholders or debenture holders) as may be inconvenient to NSE for the
purpose of settlement of transactions, of which due notice in advance shall
have been given by NSE to the Issuer.

close its transfer books for purposes of declaration of dividend or issue of
right or bonus shares or issue of shares for conversion of debentures or of
shares arising out of right attached to debentures or for such other purposes

books at least once a year at the time of the Annual General Meeting if they have

from time to time reasonably prescribe, stating the dates of closure of its
transfer books (or, when the Transfer books are not to be closed, the date
fixed for taking a record of its shareholders or debentureholders) and
specifying the purpose or purposes for which the transfer books are to be
closed (or the record is to be taken) and to send copies of such notices to the
other recognized stock exchanges in India, provided that such notice period be
reduced from forty-two days to thirty days in respect of securities which are
announced by Securities and Exchange Board of India from time to time to be compulsorily
delivered in dematerialised form by all investors. The Issuer further agrees to
ensure that the time gap between two book closures and record dates would be
atleast 30 days.
17. The Issuer will accept
for registration transfers that are lodged with the Issuer upto the date of
closure of the transfer books (or when the transfer books are not closed, up to

forthwith; and unless NSE agrees otherwise, the Issuer will defer, until the
transfer books have reopened, registration of any transfer which may be
received after the closure of the transfer books.

publish in a form approved by NSE such periodical interim statements of its

a.
b. Accounting for Taxes
on Income:
Companies shall be
required to comply with the accounting standard on "Accounting for Taxes
on Income" in respect of the quarterly un-audited financial results with
effect from the quarters ending on or after September 30, 2001.
c. Consolidated
Financial Results:
Companies shall have
the option to publish consolidated quarterly financial results in addition to
the un-audited quarterly financial results of the parent company as currently
required under the Clause 41 of the Listing Agreement.
The unaudited results
should not substantially differ from the audited results of the company. If the
sum total of the First, Second, Third and Fourth quarterly unaudited results in
respect of any item given in the same pro-forma varies by 20 per cent when compared
with the audited results for the full year the company shall explain the
reasons to the Stock Exchanges.
In addition, the
Company, shall prepare the half yearly results in the same pro-forma with
effect from half year ending on March 31, 2000 and the same shall be approved
by the Board of Directors and subjected to a "Limited Review" by the
Auditors of the Company and a copy of the Review Report shall be submitted to
the Stock Exchanges within 2 months after the close of the half year. For the
purpose of this Review half year shall be construed as consisting of the first
two quarters of the Company's Financial Year. If the sum total of First and
Second quarterly un-audited results in respect of any item given in the same
pro-forma format varies by 20% or more from the respective half yearly results
as determined after the "Limited Review" by the Auditors, the Company
shall send a statement (approved by the Board of Directors) explaining the
reasons to the Stock Exchanges along with Review Report. The Review Report
shall be in the following format:
"We have
reviewed the accompanying statement of unaudited financial results
of...........(Name of the Company) for the period ended.....This statement is
the responsibility of the Company's Management and has been approved by the
Board of Directors.
A review of interim
financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures
for financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial
and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit
conducted in accordance with the generally accepted auditing standards, the
objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial
statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review
conducted as above, nothing has come to our notice that causes us to believe
that the accompanying statement of unaudited financial results prepared in
accordance with accounting standards and other recognised accounting practices
and policies has not disclosed the information required to be disclosed in
terms of Clause 41 of the Listing Agreement including the manner in which it is
to be disclosed, or that it contains any material misstatement."
The Company shall
have an option to publish audited half yearly financial results within two
months instead of publishing un-audited results within one month followed by a
Limited Review within two months.
In respect of results
for the last quarter of the financial year, if the company intimates in advance
to the stock exchange/s that it will publish audited results within a period of
3 months from the end of the last quarter of the financial year, in such a case
unaudited results for the last quarter need not be published / given to the
stock exchanges. The audited results for the year shall be published/given to
the stock exchanges in the same format as is applicable for publishing of
quarterly financial results.
The companies which
opt to publish audited results for the entire year within 3 months instead of
publishing un-audited results for the last quarter within 30 days shall be
required to publish annual audited results in the format specified in Annexure
I. In case of banks and companies furnishing results in alternative format for
manufacturing and trading/service companies (which follow functional
(secondary) classification of expenditure) the columns 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5 as
mentioned in Annexure I shall be adopted and the rows shall remain as required
in the respective format.
