   The main terms used in the depository system are narrated below:

   Depository = Depository is an entity incorporated under the Companies Act, 1956, which    has been authorized by SEBI to act as depository. Currently there exist 2 main    depositories, namely The National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL) and the Central    Depository Services (India) Limited (CDSL). The main depository is akin to RBI in the    banking system.

   DP = Depository Participant. A DP has to compulsorily be registered with SEBI and can    be a participant either of NSDL or CDSL. DPs are akin to Banks in the banking system    and maintains securities account in place of money account.

   DP ID = Every DP registered with SEBI will have a unique registration number and it is    known as DP ID.

   Client ID = This is also known as Beneficiary Account /Demat Account number. Like a    bank account for money, whenever a security account is opened with any DP, an account    number is allotted by the DP is known as Client ID / Beneficiary Account /Demat Account    number.

   DRF = Dematerialisation Request Form = This form has to be filled in triplicate and    submitted to the DP along with the certificate for converting physical securities into    electronic form. DRF can be obtained from the concerned DP.

   Delivery Instruction Books (DIB) = These slips are to be used for debiting the account with    the number of securities sold / transferred. DPs issue pre-printed DIB containing the    names of the account holders and the Client ID, to its clients. Investors are advised to use    pre-printed DIB and keep the same in safe custody.

   ISIN stands for International Security Identification Number. Every security in the    depository is allotted a unique identification number called ISIN. The ISIN allotted to G E    SHIPPING equity share is INE 017A01024.

   Shares are traditionally held in physical or paper form. Holding / trading of shares in    physical form has certain drawbacks and the said drawbacks are either fully eliminated or    minimized largely in the electronic form of holding or trading in shares. Dematerialisation is    the process of converting securities held in physical form into electronic form.
   Holding shares and other securities in dematerialised    (electronic) form has inter-alia the    following advantages:

   ● Speedy execution of transactions  viz. sale, purchase, transfer, transmission etc.
   ● Genuineness of the securities held - no risk of holding fake certificates.
   ● Less paper work resulting in timely cost savings.
   ● No stamp duty hence cost savings.
   ● Risk of bad delivery eliminated.
   ● Immediate effect to allotment / credit in case of Bonus / Right Issues.

   When you decide to convert your securities held currently in physical form to electronic    form, you should approach any DP and open a demat account. You will be allotted a Client    ID. Thereafter one should surrender the share certificates to ones DP by filling the DRF. On    receipt of the DRF the DP generates the Demat Request Number (DRN) and thereafter will    arrange to get the certificate along with the DRF sent to the Company/Share Registrar. The    Company/ Share Registrar after due verification confirm the DRN and upon confirmation,    the number of securities dematerialised are credited in electronic form to the respective    demat account. This process is termed as de-materialisation. One can always reverse this    process if one so desires and get the shares reconverted into paper form. This process is    termed as re-materialisation.

   Share transactions (like sale or purchase and transfer/transmissions etc.) in the electronic    form can be effected in a much simpler and faster way. Like in physical form, sale of    securities in electronic form in the Share Exchange has to be carried through a registered    broker. After the sale is confirmed by the broker the seller is required to give debit    instruction to his DP for debiting the number of securities sold, by filling the Delivery    Instruction (DIB).
   In case of purchase of securities, after the payout the broker will ask his DP to debit his    account and credit the Client account of the purchaser with the number of shares    purchased.

   The charges to be borne by the investors are for dematerialisation/ maintaining demat    account, transaction charges involving sale/purchase etc. These charges are market    determined differ from DP to DP and are usually debited to the designated bank account of    the investors.

   The Company will get a download of data of beneficiaries holding shares of the Company in    demat form as on a record date. On the basis of this data the Company will send the    notice of the meeting, annual report and corporate benefits like dividend/right/bonus etc.    The rights of the shareholders holding shares in Demat form are at par with those holders    in physical form.

   Common risk factors associated with to trading in physical shares like mismatches in    signatures, loss in postal transit etc., are absent since the dematted shares are traded in    scrip less mode.
   However in the unlikely event of any other dispute, the concerned Share Exchange and/or    Depository Participant, Depository Custodian viz. NSDL/CDSL or SEBI would need to be    approached for resolving specific issues.

   Pledge of shares in demat mode is very simple. All one has to do is to submit the dully    filled in Pledge Creation Form (Form W/ Exhibit 15) to ones DP.

   As your demat account is maintained by the DP, any communication/ intimation regarding    change in address, change in bank account details, ECS mandate, registration of    nominees etc. as also any query with regard to the demat account should be made to    ones DP. Since the Company / Share Registrar has no access to ones depository account    any request regarding any of the above subject would be futile.

   After executing the transfer deed with proper stamp duty, kindly send the transfer deed    along with the share certificate(s) to the Registrars & Share Transfer Agents. It takes a    period of 7 days.

   Requests for Transfer of Shares should be sent to the Registrars & Share Transfer Agents    at the following address:
   Sharepro Services
   912, Raheja Centre
   Nariman Point
   Mumbai 400021

   Addition of any name means technically transfer of shares. In such cases share transfer    procedure needs to be followed.

   Currently, the stamp duty payable is 0.25% of the total consideration of transaction

   The charges to be borne by the investors are for dematerialisation/ maintaining demat    account, transaction charges involving sale/purchase etc. These charges are market    determined differ from DP to DP and are usually debited to the designated bank account of    the investors.

   Consolidation of folios is possible provided the order of names (in case of joint holdings) is    identical in all the folios. A letter under the signature of all the holders will suffice the    requirement. No share transfer deed is required to be executed in such cases.

   In case of death of any joint shareholder, an application has to be made to the Company    along with a certified copy of the Death Certificate. The Company shall on receipt of the    death certificate along with a request letter and all share certificates, delete the name of    the deceased shareholder and return the share certificate(s) duly endorsed in favour of the    remaining shareholder(s).

   In such a situation it is very difficult to prove the ownership of estate of the deceased    member. Following documents along with the share certificate(s) need to be submitted to    the Company for transmitting the shares:-

   Request for transmission in writing
   Certified copy of the Death certificate
   Certified copy of any one of the following:

   ● Letter of Administration from court, if applicable
   ● Succession Certificate, if applicable
   ● Title Claim, if required and
   ● No Objection from the other legal heirs, if any.

   The Company may however also consider transmission of shares without receiving any of    the documents mentioned at 'C' above on receipt of an Indemnity Bond on stamp paper of    Rs. 200 and an Affidavit on stamp paper of Rs. 20.

   You may please write to the Registrars & Share Transfer Agents furnishing the particulars    of the dividend not received. Please also quote your folio number/ DP ID & Client ID    particulars (in case of dematted shares). After verification, duplicate dividend warrant will be    issued in case the dividend remains unpaid as per the records of the Company.

   If the validity period of the original dividend warrant has not yet expired, you will have to wait    till the date expires since duplicate dividend warrant cannot be issued during the validity of    the original warrant. However after the expiry of the validity period, if after completion of    reconciliation, the warrant is un-encashed as per the records you will be need to intimate    the Registrars & Share Transfer Agents with your request for issue of a duplicate. On    receipt of such a request dividend warrant will be issued.

   Since the dividend warrants are payable at par at various branches of the bank across the    country, it is practically impossible for the banks to issue stop payment instructions and it    is therefore necessary for the company to wait till the expiry of the validity of the original    warrant.

   If you are holding shares in physical form, please inform the Registrars & Share Transfer    Agents quoting your folio number, name and address of your bank and the account    number. The Company shall incorporate the same in all your future warrants. However if    you are holding the shares in Demat form, such details will have to be given to your DP.    Your DP in turn will pass on this information to the Company. This procedure is in    accordance with depository regulations.

   Under this system, the dividend amount is directly credited to the designated bank account    of the investor through the electronic clearing service (ECS) of the Reserve Bank of India.    ECS has the following advantages

   ● Timely credit of dividend amount to the account of the shareholder.
