VIGIL MECHANISM

Pursuant to provisions of Section 177 (9) of the Act, read with Regulation 22(1) of the SEBI Listing Regulations, your Company has adopted a Whistle Blower Policy, to provide a formal vigil mechanism to the Directors and employees to report their concerns about unethical behavior, including actual or suspected leak of unpublished price sensitive information, actual or suspected fraud or violation of the Company’s Code of Conduct or ethics policy. The Policy provides for adequate safeguards against victimization of employees who avail of the mechanism and also provides for direct access to the Chairman of the Audit Committee in certain cases. It is affirmed that no personnel of the Company has been denied access to the Audit Committee.
