Dear shareholders,
As a part of your company’s endeavor to improve the services to the investors, we are introducing the
Electronic Clearing Services (ECS) facility for payment of dividend, from the current financial year. You would
be aware of ECS being offered by Reserve Bank of India (RBI) in selected cities. ECS facilitates automatic
credit of payments to one’s Bank Account and eliminates risks of fraudulent encashment and loss in transit
of instruments of payment.
Under this arrangement, the payment instructions would be issued electronically through our Bank to the
Clearing Authority (RBI) and the Clearing Authority would give credit reports to the bank in which you are
maintaining the specified bank account. Your bank in turn will credit to your account on the due date and
intimate the credit entry as ECS in your bank pass book/bank statement. We will be issuing an advice to you
directly about the payment to the credit of your account.
If you are holding shares in dematerialized form, your are requested to intimate your ECS details / change in
bank mandate, if any, to your Depository Participant, they will update these details in NSDL/CDSL system
and the same will be used by the company for the remittance of dividend to its shareholders.
If you are holding shares in physical form, please fill up the bank mandate in the form attached in the Annual
Report and send it along with a cancelled cheque leaf or a photocopy of the same to the Registrar and Share
Transfer Agent M/s Intime Spectrum Registry Ltd, “SURYA” 35, Mayflower Avenue, Behind Senthil Nagar,
Sowripalayam Road, Coimbatore-641028, Tamil Nadu, before 08.09.2008.
Thanking you,
Yours truly,
