(c) Foreign Telegraphic Transfers (FTT);

(d) Foreign Demand Drafts (FDD); and

(e) Direct Transfers
Dividend is paid under three modes viz:

National Electronic Clearing Service (NECS) facility is a centralised version of ECS facility. The NECS system takes advantage of the centralized accounting system in banks. Accordingly, the account of a bank that is submitting or receiving payment instructions is debited or credited centrally at Mumbai. The branches participating in NECS can, however, be located anywhere across the length and breadth of the country.

Investors holding shares in physical form may send their NECS Mandate Form, duly filled in, to the Company's RTA, Maheshwari Datamatics Private Limited. However, if shares are held in dematerialised form, NECS mandate has to be sent to the concerned DP directly, in the format prescribed by the DP. Investors must note that NECS essentially operates on the new and unique bank account number, allotted by banks post implementation of Core Banking Solutions (CBS) for centralized processing of inward instructions and efficiency in handling bulk transactions. In this regard, shareholders are requested to furnish the new bank account number allotted by the banks post implementation of CBS, along with a copy of cheque pertaining to the concerned account, to the RTA of the Company in case the shareholders hold shares in physical form and to the concerned DP in case the shareholders hold shares in demat form. In case the shareholders do not provide their new account number allotted after implementation of CBS, please note that NECS to the shareholders' old account may either be rejected or returned.
Srei is a consistent profit making, dividend paying Company. Over the last 5 years, the Company has paid the following dividend on the Equity shares:

2009-10 Rs. 1.20 12%

2008-09 Re. 1.00 10%

2007-08 Re. 1.20 12%

Shareholders may write to the Company / RTA, furnishing the particulars of the dividend not received, and quoting the folio number/DP ID and Client ID particulars (in case of dematerialised shares). On expiry of the validity period, if the dividend warrant is still shown as unpaid in the records of the Company, demand drafts shall be issued on request.No demand draft will be issued in respect of dividends which have remained unpaid/ unclaimed for a period of seven years in the unpaid dividend account of the Company as they are required to be transferred to the Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF) constituted by the Central Government.

Dividends not encashed or claimed, within seven years from the date of its transfer to the unpaid dividend account, will, in terms of the provisions of Section 205A of the Companies Act, 1956, be transferred to the Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF) established by the Government. In terms of the provisions of Section 205C of the Companies Act, 1956, no claim shall lie either against the Company or the IEPF after the said transfer.

The identification number (ISIN) for trading in Srei Equity shares in the Depository mode in both National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL) and Central Depository Securities (India) Limited (CDSL) is INE872A01014.

The process of converting securities (i.e. shares, bonds etc.) held in physical form into electronic form is known as dematerialization. Under this process, securities held by an investor in physical form are converted to an equal number of securities in electronic form and credited into the investor's demat account maintained by him with his Depository Participant (DP).

The shareholder is required to approach a Depository Participant (DP) and apply in a prescribed application form for opening the Depository account.

Open a Beneficiary Account with a DP registered with SEBI and with any one of the Depositories i.e., NSDL or CDSL.

Submit the duly filled in Dematerialization Request Form (DRF) (in triplicate) signed by all the shareholders, to the DP along with share certificates and requisite documents. It should be ensured that the names and order of names as per certificates matches with the names and order of the names as per the DP account.

Obtain an acknowledgement from the DP.

On receipt of DRF as above, DP will generate a Dematerialization Request Number (DRN) and the said DRN is electronically transmitted to the Company/ Registrar and Transfer Agent (RTA) through the concerned Depository.

Simultaneously, DP will send the physical certificates with the original DRF to the Company / RTA for verification and confirmation.

The Company / RTA, on receipt of DRF and share certificates as above, will process the said request and if the DRF is found to be in order {viz. verification of signature and certificates}, will electronically confirm the said request.

The DP on receipt of such confirmation, will update the demat account of the investor.

NOTE: Therefore, under no circumstances should a shareholder submit the DRF and the share certificates directly to the Company / RTA.

No. According to the Depositories Act, 1996, an investor has the option to hold shares either in physical or in dematerialised form. However, as per the Securities & Exchange Board of India (SEBI) Guidelines, trading at the stock exchanges shall be compulsorily in demat form.

As on date 98.24% of the paid up capital of the Company is dematerialised.

Shareholders holding shares in physical form, may send a request letter, duly signed by all the holders, giving the new address along with Pin Code, to the Company / RTA. Shareholders are also requested to quote their folio number and furnish proof such as attested copies of Ration Card/PAN Card/Passport/latest Electricity or Telephone Bill / Lease Agreement etc. If shares are held in dematerialised form, information about change in address needs to be sent to the DP concerned.

Shareholders may request the Company / RTA for effecting change of name in the share certificates and records of the Company. Original share certificates along with the supporting documents like marriage certificate, court order, etc. should be enclosed. After verification, the change of name shall be effected and the share certificates in the new name of the shareholders shall be sent. Shareholders holding shares in demat form, may request the concerned DP in the format prescribed by DP.

Immediately on being aware of the loss/misplacement of the share certificates, the procedure as detailed hereunder should be followed:

Lodge a First Information Report (FIR) with the local police station;

Submit the application in writing to the Company / RTA, duly signed by all the shareholders, quoting the folio number, details of share certificates lost, along with a original/attested copy of the FIR.

Company / RTA on verification, will mark 'Stop Transfer' against the share certificates reported as lost/misplaced by the shareholder for a period of 15 days and shall provide the detailed procedure for issue of duplicate share certificates including the draft of the affidavit and indemnity to be executed by the shareholder.

Share transfers in physical form can be lodged with the Company / RTA. All such requests for share transfers are processed and share certificates returned within a time period of 21 days from the date of receipt, subject to the documents being valid and complete in all respects.

The stamp duty applicable on transfer of shares is 0.25% on the market value on the date of execution of the transfer deed or consideration value whichever is higher.

Section 109A of the Companies Act, 1956 provides the facility of nomination to shareholders. This facility is mainly useful for individuals holding shares in sole name. In the case of joint holding of shares by individuals, nomination will be effective only in the event of death of all joint holders.

Investors, especially those who are holding shares in single name, are advised to avail of the nomination facility by submitting duly filled in Form 2B to the Company / RTA, available on the Company's website.

However, if shares are held in dematerialised form, nomination has to be registered with the concerned DP directly, as per the format prescribed by the DP.
