The AGM Notice was hosted on the Bank’s website and that of NSDL, and the Stock Exchanges viz., BSE Limited and National Stock Exchange of India Limited to facilitate the Members of the Bank to cast their vote electronically through e-voting. |
| • |
The Management of the Bank is responsible for ensuring compliance with the requirements of the Act, the Rules made thereunder and the SEBI Listing Regulations. My responsibility as the Scrutinizer of the voting process (through E-voting), was restricted to scrutinize the e-voting process, in a fair and transparent manner and to prepare a Scrutinizer’s Report of the votes cast in favour and against the resolutions stated in the Notice, based on the reports generated from the e-voting system provided by NSDL. |
