What is the Share Transfer System adopted by the Company?

In respect of shares upto 500 per folio, the transfers are effected on a weekly basis and the average turnaround time for dispatch of registered share certificates is less than 10 days. For other cases the Committee of Directors meets every month. It is our endeavor to return the duly registered transfers as early as possible from the date of receipt, if the documents are properly executed. (In case the share certificates do not reach the shareholder within 30 days from the date of lodging the same, the shareholder may e-mail his query to the Share Transfer Agent).
