13. Distribution of shareholding as on 31st March, 2003: 1,90,853 shareholders held 7,32,04,943 equity shares of nominal value of Rs.10/- each.

14. Share Transfer System :

The Company has, as per SEBI guidelines, offered the facility of transfer-cum-demat to the investors. Under this system, the share transfers which are received in physical form are processed subject to the documents being valid and complete in all respects. After the share transfer is effected, an option letter is sent to the transferee indicating the details of the shares transferred and requesting him to approach the Depository Participant (DP) with the option letter if he wishes to demat the shares. The DP in turn generates the demat request and sends it to the Company alongwith the option letter issued by the Company. On receipt of the same, the Company dematerialises the shares. In case the transferee does not exercise the option to dematerialise the shares, the Company will despatch the share certificate after 30 days from the date of such option letter.

15. Dematerialisation of Shares :

As per the Notification issued by SEBI, the shares of the Company are traded compulsorily in dematerialised form by all investors with effect from 8th May, 2000.

As on 31st March, 2003 out of 7,32,04,943 fully paid-up equity shares of Rs. 10/- each listed with the Stock Exchanges 3,49,73,265 equity shares (47.77% of paid-up capital) held by 49,106 shareholders (25.73% of total number of shareholders) have been demated.

16. Outstanding GDRs, ADRs, Warrants or any Convertible Instruments etc.: Nil.

17. Electronic Clearing Service (ECS) :

Members holding shares in physical segment desirous of receiving dividend through Electronic Clearing Service are requested to obtain the prescribed mandate form and return the same duly filled-in and signed for registration with the Company.

Investors holding shares in demat segment are requested to check ECS mandate registered with their respective Depository Participants and ensure correctness for prompt credit of dividend amount to their accounts.

18. Buy-back of Shares :

As reported last year, the Company had made representation to SEBI and Government of India regarding restriction for buy-back only upto 12,22,200 equity shares as against 1,83,01,236 equity shares approved by the Board of Directors of the Company. During the year, the Company received reply from SEBI on 3rd January, 2003 clarifying that the non-promoter holding after the buy-back of shares should not fall below 25% as against 60% required under Clause 40A of the Listing Agreement for maintaining minimum public shareholding by the Company which meant that the Company could have bought 1,83,01,236 equity shares. However, since the last date for buy-back of Shares by the Company in terms of the resolution passed by the Board of Directors was 20th January, 2003 being one year from the date of Board resolution approving the buy-back, no shares were bought back by the Company during the year.
