3 - Non-Mandatory Requirementsa.

Chairman of the BoardA

non-executive Chairman should be entitled to maintain a Chairman's office at

the company's expense and also allowed reimbursement of expenses incurred in

performance of his duties.b.

Remuneration CommitteeThe

board should set up a remuneration committee to determine on their behalf and

on behalf of the shareholders with agreed terms of reference, the company's

policy on specific remuneration packages for executive directors including

pension rights and any compensation payment.To

avoid conflicts of interest, the remuneration committee, which would determine

the remuneration packages of the executive directors should comprise of at

least three directors, all of whom should be non-executive directors, the

chairman of committee being an independent director.All

the members of the remuneration committee should be present at the meeting.The

Chairman of the remuneration committee should be present at the Annual General

Meeting, to answer the shareholder queries. However, it would be up to the

Chairman to decide who should answer the queries.c.

Shareholder RightsThe

half-yearly declaration of financial performance including summary of the

significant events in last six-months, should be sent to each household of

shareholders.d.

Postal BallotCurrently,

although the formality of holding the general meeting is gone through, in

actual practice only a small fraction of the shareholders of that company do or

can really participate therein. This virtually makes the concept of corporate

democracy illusory. It is imperative that this situation which has lasted too

long needs an early correction. In this context, for shareholders who are

unable to attend the meetings, there should be a requirement which will enable

them to vote by postal ballot for key decisions. Some of the critical matters

which should be decided by postal ballot are given below:Matters

relating to alteration in the memorandum of association of the company like

changes in name, objects, address of registered office etc;Sale

of whole or substantially the whole of the undertaking;Sale

of investments in the companies, where the shareholding or the voting rights of

the company exceeds 25%;Making

a further issue of shares through preferential allotment or private placement

basis;Corporate

restructuring;Entering

a new business area not germane to the existing business of the company;Variation

in rights attached to class of securities;Matters

relating to change in management50.
