(a) Dividend entitlement

Dividend, if declared at the Annual General Meeting, will be paid within 15 days thereof to the members whose names appear on the Register of Members on 21st July 2010 or to their mandates. In respect of shares held in electronic form, dividend will be paid to the beneficial owners of shares recorded with the depositories as of 21st July 2010 as per details to be furnished by NSDL / CDSL for the purpose.

(b) Validity

Dividend warrants are payable at par at the designated branches of the Bank printed on reverse of the dividend warrant for an initial period of 3 months only. Payment instrument thereafter would be payable only at limited centres. The members are, therefore, advised to encash dividend warrants within the initial validity period.

(i) Physical holding

In order to provide protection against fraudulent encashment of the warrants, shareholders holding shares in physical form are requested to intimate the Company under the signature of the sole / first joint holder, their Bank account particulars to be incorporated in the dividend warrants. This is a mandatory requirement in terms of SEBI Circular No.D&CC/FITTC/CIR-04/2001 dated 13.11.2001.

(ii) Demat holding

Bank account details as furnished by their Depositories to the Company in the case of Shareholders holding shares in electronic form will be printed on their dividend warrants as per the applicable regulations of the Depositories and the Company will not entertain any direct request from such shareholders for deletion of / change in such bank details. Instructions, if any, already given by them in respect of shares held in physical form will not be automatically applicable to shares held in electronic mode. Shareholders who wish to change such bank account details are advised to inform their Depository Participants about such change, with complete details of bank account.

(d) ECS mandate

Shareholders holding shares in physical form who wish to avail Electronic Clearing Facility (ECS) may authorize the Company with their ECS mandate in the prescribed form. Requests for payment of dividend through ECS should be lodged with the Company on or before 7th July 2010.

(e) Payment through NECS

SEBI has made it mandatory for all companies to use the Electronic Mode of Remittance for distributing Dividends and other cash benefits. Effective 1st October 2009 Reserve Bank of India has replaced the ECS with NECS for faster credit and ease of operations. One of the eligibility criteria for remittance through NECS is that the beneficiary should have a bank account with a bank which is under Core Banking Solutions (CBS). Once a bank is converted to CBS there will be a change in the bank account number of the account holders with larger digits as prefix. Investors are advised to check with their bankers for change in the bank account number and advise their Depository Participant with whom they are maintaining the demat account. This would facilitate faster credit of dividend amount to their account.

(f) Tax on dividend

Dividend, if declared, will be tax free in the hands of the shareholders. Hence no form for non-deduction of tax is required from any member.

Unclaimed Dividend

Pursuant to Section 205 A of the Companies Act 1956, dividend remaining unpaid or unclaimed for a period of 7 years will be transferred to the Investor Education and Protection Fund of the Central Government and no claim shall lie thereafter.
