1. PREFACE:

The Company believes in the conduct of the affairs of its constituents in a fair and transparent manner by adopting highest standards of professionalism, honesty, integrity and ethical behaviour. Towards this, the Company has adopted the Code of Conduct (“the Code”), which lays down the principles and standards that should govern the actions of the Company and its employees. Any actual or potential violation of the Code, howsoever insignificant or perceived as such, would be a matter of serious concern for the Company. The role of the employees in pointing out such violations of the Code cannot be undermined.

2. PURPOSE OF POLICY

Section 177 (9) of the Companies Act, 2013 read with Rule 7 of the Companies (Meeting of Board and its Powers) Rules, 2014 mandates the following classes of companies to constitute a vigil mechanism – • Every listed company; • Every other company which accepts deposits from the public; • Every company which has borrowed money from banks and public financial institutions in excess of Rs. 50 crores. Further, as per Regulation 4 (d) (iv) of Securities And Exchange Board Of India (Listing Obligations And Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 provides for a mandatory requirement for all listed companies to establish a mechanism called the ‘Whistleblower Policy’ for directors and employees to report concerns of unethical behaviour, actual or suspected, fraud or violation of the Company’s code of conduct or ethics policy. Accordingly, this Whistleblower Policy (“the Policy”) has been formulated with a view to provide a mechanism for directors and employees of the Company to approach the Chairman of the Audit Committee of the Company.

3. DEFINITIONS

“Whistleblower” is defined as any Personnel (defined below) who has or had access to data, events or information about an actual, suspected or anticipated Reportable Matter within the organisation, and, whether anonymously or not, makes or attempts to make a deliberate, voluntary and protected disclosure or complaint of organisational malpractice. “Reportable Matters” means Questionable Accounting or Auditing Matters (defined below), and/or any other Company matters involving abuse of authority, breach of company Code of Conduct, fraud, bribery, corruption, employee misconduct, illegality, health & safety, environmental issues, wastage/misappropriation of company funds/assets and any other unethical conduct. “Questionable Accounting or Auditing Matters” include, without limitation, the following: • fraud or deliberate error in the preparation, evaluation, review or audit of any financial statement of the Company; • fraud or deliberate error in the recording and maintaining of financial records of the Company; • deficiencies in or non‐compliance with the Company’s internal accounting controls; • misrepresentation or false statement to or by a senior officer or accountant regarding a matter contained in the financial records, financial reports or audit reports of the Company; or • Deviation from full and fair reporting of the Company’s financial condition. “Personnel” means any employee, director, officer, customer, contractor and/or third‐party intermediary engaged to conduct business on behalf of the Company, such as agents and consultants. “Audit Committee” means the Audit Committee constituted by the Board of Directors of the Company in accordance with section 177 of the Companies Act 2013 read with Regulation 4 (d) (iv) of Securities and Exchange Board of India (Listing Obligations And Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. “Investigators” mean that person authorized, appointed, consulted or approached by the Chairman of the Audit Committee and includes the auditors of the Company.

4. REPORTABLE MATTERS

This Policy is not, however, intended to question financial or business decisions taken by the Company that are not Reportable Matters nor should it be used as a means to reconsider any matters which have already been addressed pursuant to disciplinary or other internal procedures of the Company. Further, this Policy is not intended to cover career related or other personal grievances. The Whistleblower’s role is that of a reporting party. Whistleblowers are not investigators or finders of facts; neither can they determine the appropriate corrective or remedial action that may be warranted.

5. False Complaints

While this Policy is intended to protect genuine Whistleblowers from any unfair treatment as a result of their disclosure, misuse of this protection by making frivolous and bogus complaints with mala fide intentions is strictly prohibited. Personnel who makes complaints with mala fide intentions and which are subsequently found to be false will be subject to strict disciplinary action.

6. Reporting Mechanisms

Personnel should raise Reportable Matters with someone who is in a position to address them appropriately. In most cases, a Personnel’s supervisor, manager or point of contact is in the best position to address an area of concern. Supervisors, managers or points of contact to which Reportable Matters are raised are required to report the same immediately to the Chairman of the Audit Committee. Although a Whistleblower is not required to furnish any more information than what he/she wishes to disclose, it is essential for the Company to have all critical information in order to enable the Company to effectively evaluate and investigate the complaint. It is difficult for the Company to proceed with an investigation on a complaint, particularly an anonymous complaint, which does not contain all the critical information such as the specific charge.

7. Investigations

Audit Committee shall address all concerns or complaints regarding Reportable Matters which are placed before them, and ensure resolution of the same. The Audit Committee, either direct the complaint to the organization/department best placed to address it (while maintaining oversight authority for the investigation), or lead the investigation in person to ensure prompt and appropriate investigation and resolution. All information disclosed during the course of the investigation will remain confidential, except as necessary or appropriate to conduct the investigation and take any remedial action, in accordance with any applicable laws and regulations. The Company reserves the right to refer any concerns or complaints regarding Reportable Matters to appropriate external regulatory authorities. All Personnel have a duty to cooperate in the investigation of complaints reported as mentioned hereinabove. Depending on the nature of the complaint, any concerned Personnel, at the outset of formal investigations, may be informed of the allegations against him/her and provided an opportunity to reply to such allegations. Personnel shall be subject to strict disciplinary action up to and including immediate dismissal, if they fail to cooperate in an investigation, or deliberately provide false information during an investigation. If, at the conclusion of its investigation, the Company determines that a violation has occurred or the allegations are substantiated, the Company will take effective remedial action commensurate with the severity of the offence. This may include disciplinary action against the concerned Personnel. The Company may also take reasonable and necessary measures to prevent any further violations which may have resulted in a complaint being made. In some situations, the Company may be under a legal obligation to refer matters to appropriate external regulatory authorities.

8. Non‐retaliation

No Personnel who, in good faith, makes a disclosure or lodges a complaint in accordance with this Policy shall suffer reprisal, discrimination or adverse employment consequences. Accordingly, the Company strictly prohibits discrimination, retaliation or harassment of any kind against a Whistleblower who, based on his/her reasonable belief that one or more Reportable Matters has occurred or are occurring, reports that information. Any Personnel who retaliates against a Whistleblower who has raised a Reportable Matter in good faith, will be subject to strict disciplinary action up to and including immediate termination of employment or termination of his/her relationship with the Company. If any Personnel who makes a disclosure or complaint in good faith, believes that he/she is being subjected to discrimination, retaliation or harassment for having made a report under this Policy, he/she must immediately report those facts to his/her supervisor, manager or point of contact, or If, for any reason, he/she does not feel comfortable discussing the matter with these persons, he/she should bring the matter to the attention of the Audit Committee. It is imperative that such Personnel brings the matter to the Company’s attention promptly so that any concern of reprisal, discrimination or adverse employment consequences can be investigated and addressed promptly and appropriately.

9. Additional enforcement information

In addition to the Company’s internal complaint procedure, Personnel should also be aware that certain central, local and state law enforcement agencies and regulatory authorities are authorized to review questionable accounting or auditing matters, or potentially fraudulent reports of financial information. Nothing in this Policy is intended to prevent any Personnel from reporting information to the appropriate agency when the Personnel have reasonable cause to believe that the violation of a central, local or state statute or regulation has occurred.

10. Conclusion.

The Code of Conduct as well as the Company’s policies and practices have been developed as a guide to our legal and ethical responsibilities to achieve and maintain the highest business standards. Conduct that violates the Company’s policies is viewed as unacceptable by the Company. Certain violations of the Company’s policies and practices could even subject the Company and any individual employee involved to civil and criminal penalties. Before issues escalate to such level, Personnel are encouraged to report any violations covered herein above, or reprisal, discrimination or adverse employment consequences related to such reports.
