number(s), e-mail ID) only in the covering letter forwarding such Protected Disclosure.
In case, Whistleblower is in possession of any documents, evidence, supportings, etc.,

and make all efforts to expeditiously look into the Protected Disclosure received from a

communications will be appropriately dealt with by the Company.

Appropriate care will be ensured to keep identity of Whistleblower confidential. VWBC

the Facilitators in the respective IC / Corporate Departments where the breach has
occurred.

VWBC will detach the covering letter and forward only the Protected Disclosure to the

Based on the investigation, scrutiny of documents, evidences, etc., Corporate Audit

Services / Facilitators will record their findings and comments in the form of a note and
forward the same to the VWBC.

On receipt of such note, the VWBC can order a detailed investigation, if deemed
necessary.

may engage an external consultant/ expert to assist in this matter.

If the alleged malpractice is required by law to be dealt with under any other
mechanism, the VWBC shall refer the Protected Disclosure to the appropriate authority
under such mandated mechanism and seek a report on the findings from such
authority.

The VWBC will submit a written report containing the findings and action to be taken
to the Executive Management Committee member in charge of the concerned IC /
Corporate Department.

The investigation shall be completed normally within 90 days of receipt of the Protected
Disclosure. Extension of this period will be granted by the VWBC depending on the
merits of the case.

A summary of the cases reported under this Policy and the status of the investigation /
action taken report will be placed before the Audit Committee on a quarterly basis.

7. Protection of Whistleblower

Vendors should feel free to report matters of wrongdoing to the VWBC without fear of
any repercussion on themselves. The management assures maintaining anonymity of
the Whistleblower at all times. The management also affirms that the Whistleblower
shall be protected from unfair termination of contract and any other unfair prejudicial
business practices, which the Whistleblower may face from any persons within the
Company due to the act of whistle blowing.

victimized or harassed due to his/her act of whistle blowing, he/she shall have the
right to approach the VWBC who will review the Whistleblowers complaint and take
appropriate action, as applicable, to ensure that the Whistleblower is not so subjected
to any unfair or prejudicial business practices. However, while genuine Whistleblowers
will be accorded protection from unfair treatment, any abuse of this protection will
make him/her liable for disciplinary action.

any time without assigning any reason whatsoever.
