As per Rule 20 of the Companies (Management
and Administration) Rules, 2014, the Company
is required to publish an advertisement in both
English and vernacular (Tamil) newspapers
immediately upon the completion of dispatch
of notices for the Annual General Meeting
(AGM), and at least 21 days before the date of
the AGM. However, the Company published
only an abridged version of the notice in a
Tamil newspaper in English instead of Tamil on
29.08.2024 for the Annual General Meeting held
on 18.09.2024. Additionally, the Company
failed to publish the notice in an English
newspaper, and the Tamil publication did not
comply with the minimum 21-day requirement.
This is a non-compliance with Rule 20(f) of the
Companies (Management and Administration)
Rules, 2014.

The company will ensure that
two separate advertisements are
published in vernacular and
English newspapers in
compliance with the regulations
in future, within the prescribed
timelines.

The website disclosures were not made in
accordance with the provisions of the
Companies Act, 2013, and Regulation 46 of the
Securities and Exchange Board of India (Listing
Obligations and Disclosure Requirements)
Regulations, 2015.

Board has taken serious note of
the observation and shall duly
comply with the same.

The Company has been advised to obtain an
International Securities Identification Number
(ISIN) for its Preference Shares.

Board has taken serious note of
the observation and shall duly
comply with the same.

As per Regulation 3 of the Securities and
Exchange Board of India (Prohibition of Insider
Trading) Regulations, 2015, read with NSE
Circular No. NSE/CML/25 dated 29.03.2023,
the Company is required to submit the
quarterly Structured Digital Database
Compliance Certificate for the quarter ended
30.06.2024 by 21.07.2024. However, the
Company submitted the certificate on
19.08.2024, resulting in a delay.

The company did not have a
Compliance Officer during the
period from 31.05.2024 to
20.07.2024, resulting in delays in
updating the software and
submitting the certificate. The
company has taken necessary
steps to avoid such delays in
future.

The Company has few delays in capturing
Unpublished Price Sensitive Information
(UPSI) in the Structured Digital Database
software, as required under the Securities and
Exchange Board of India (Prohibition of Insider
Trading) Regulations, 2015

The company did not have a
Compliance Officer during the
period from 31.05.2024 to
20.07.2024. Further, company
faced several technical issues in
maintaining the software during
the year, resulting in delays in
capturing the events in the SDD
software. The company has taken
necessary steps to avoid such
delays in future.

As per Regulation 29(1) of the Securities and
Exchange Board of India (Listing Obligations
and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations,
2015, a listed entity is required to provide prior
intimation of at least five days (excluding the
date of intimation and the date of the meeting)
to the stock exchange regarding Board
meetings where financial results are to be
considered and interim dividends declared.
The Company initially intimated the National
Stock Exchange on 07.11.2024 about a Board
meeting scheduled for 15.11.2024 to consider
and approve the unaudited financial results for
the half year ended 30.09.2024 and to declare an
interim dividend. However, the Company
subsequently issued a revised intimation on
12.11.2024, advancing the meeting date to
14.11.2024 without providing any reason for the
change. Consequently, the revised notice
period was effectively only one day, which
constitutes non-compliance with Regulation
29(1) of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and
Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015.

The company had initially
scheduled the Board meeting for
declaration of half-yearly
financial results on 15.11.2024,
falling beyond the 45 days''
timeline prescribed for declaring
the financial results. Upon
realizing the miscalculation of
days, the company quickly
rectified the same by advancing
the meeting to 14.11.2024 and
submitting revised intimation
about the changed Board meeting
date. The company regrets the
non-compliance with the
required period for prior
intimation and has taken steps to
ensure that the same does not
occur in future.

As per Regulation 30 of the Securities and
Exchange Board of India (Listing Obligations
and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations,
2015, the detailed reason along with the
resignation letter must be submitted within 7
days from the date of resignation of the
Company Secretary. The Company Secretary
resigned on 31.05.2024; however, the Company
submitted the relevant documents to the Stock
Exchange only on 10.10.2024, resulting in a
delay.

The Board has taken note of the
observation and has taken
necessary steps to avoid delays in
future.

As per Regulation 40(10) of the SEBI (Listing
Obligations and Disclosure Requirements)
Regulations, 2015, the Company is required to
submit the Share Transfer Audit Certificate to
the Stock Exchange simultaneously upon
receipt of the certificate from the Practicing
Company Secretary under Regulation 40(9).
The Company received the certificate under
Regulation 40(9) on 10.04.2024 but submitted
the same to the Stock Exchange on 18.04.2024
and 22.04.2024, resulting in a delay

The Board has taken note of the
observation and has taken
necessary steps to avoid delays in
future.

As per Regulation 45 of the Securities and
Exchange Board of India (Listing Obligations
and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations,
2015, the Company has been advised to change
its name to reflect the business activity that
contributes at least 50% of its total revenue

the same.
