Whistle Blower Policy

Purpose

The Company believes that its constituents (Directors, Employees, and others) should conduct their affairs in a fair and transparent manner by adopting the highest standards of professionalism, integrity, honesty, and ethics. The role of the Employee/s and other stakeholders who interact with the Company in pointing out any breach of the processes and any improper activities of the Company cannot be undermined.

The purpose of the Whistleblower Policy is to devise a procedure by which Employee/s and other stakeholders can report allegations of known or suspected Improper Activities (as defined hereinafter) to the relevant authorities within the Company.

All Employee/s and other stakeholders of the Company are encouraged to report either orally or in writing to the Whistleblower Administrator, evidence/s of activity by the Company, departments or Employee/s that may constitute Improper Activities affecting the business or reputation of the Company.

Process for Reporting for Employees and Non-employee Stakeholders

Whistleblowers are encouraged to use the guidance provided by this policy for reporting Improper Activities. Persons may report information concerning Improper Activities or any other potential or actual violations or improper activities that they may come across while dealing with or within the Company. Such reports may be submitted in a confidential manner. Such reports may be made in writing (email or letter) or orally to the Whistleblower Authority at the below-mentioned details:

Protection to Whistleblowers

• Any Whistleblower reporting Improper Activities will be protected against threats of retaliation, discharge, or other types of discrimination including compensation or terms and conditions of employment that are directly related to the disclosure of the report. In addition, no Whistleblower may be adversely affected because the Whistleblower refused to carry out a directive that, in fact, constitutes corporate fraud or is a violation of the law.
• Any other Employee assisting in the said investigation shall also be protected to the same extent as the Whistleblower.

  However, Employee/s or whistleblowers who file reports of Improper Activities or provide evidence that they know to be false or without a reasonable belief in the truth and accuracy of such information will not be protected by the above policy statement and may be subject to disciplinary action and legal claims.
