a. The Stakeholder Relationship Committee was not properly constituted with the requisite members and chairperson
for the quarter ended December 31, 2024. However, the Company reconstituted the Stakeholder Relationship
Committee on October 3, 2024 and the applicable fine was subsequently paid on March 28, 2025. The Company
has submitted a request to BSE through the BSE Listing Centre seeking a waiver of the imposed fine. The

as per Regulation 20(2), the appointed chairperson of the Stakeholder Relationship Committee is a Non-Executive
director and as per Regulation 20(2A), the Stakeholder Relationship Committee is duly constituted with three
directors, of which two are independent directors. Therefore the company is in compliance with the specified
regulation. Further, the Company has made request to BSE through BSE Listing Centre to waive off the fine and
the case is under process with Listing Operation Team (Case Number 227422 dated Mar 18, 2025). However,
the fine amount has been paid on 28.03.2025.
b. BSE had done a comparison of promoter/ promoter group PAN data provided to NSDL/CDSL with promoter/
promoter group details in shareholding pattern filed by listed entity with Exchanges and observed certain mismatch
that Non Promoter category selected on designated depository system whereas in Shareholding pattern promoter
category is mentioned. In this regard, BSE requested the Company to refer NSDL and CDSL circular for
process to be followed for updating of PAN details on NSDL''s / CDSL issuer portal and update the details latest
by July 31, 2024. As per listed entity there is no such mismatch.
Management Comment: The Company had submitted its reply on 30.07.2024 through BSE Listing Centre
mentioning that we have already updated the PAN details of Promoters and Promoter Groups along with Directors
and Designated Persons for System Driven Disclosures under SEBI PIT Regulations and SAST Regulations.
