The Company believes that sound corporate practices based on openness, credibility and accountability are essential to its long-term success. These practices will ensure the company, having regard to competitive exigencies, conducts its affairs in such a way that would build the confidence of its various stakeholders in it and its Boards' integrity.
To successfully implement the principles of corporate governance, Great Eastern Shipping has made the following 3 committees:
The Audit Committee has been setup to oversee the Company's financial reporting process and the disclosure of its financial information to ensure that the financial statement is correct, sufficient and credible. It deals with the recommendation on the appointment and removal of external auditor, and the adequacy of internal control systems. The Committee is also responsible to look into the reason for any default in the payment to the depositors, debenture holders, shareholders (in case of non payment of declared dividends) and creditors.
The Remuneration Committee determines the Company's policy on specific remuneration packages for Wholetime Directors including pension rights and any other compensation related matters. The Committee works on the policy of compensating the Wholetime directors commensurate to the earnings of the Company and the efforts put in by them for achieving the same. At present the Committee has no scheme for the Wholetime Directors or employees for grant of stock option.
The Investor Grievance Committee ensures redressal of the shareholder and investor complaints relating to transfer of shares, non receipt of balance sheet, the complaints in respect to non receipt of dividends/interests/payments on redemption of preference shares, debentures, bonds or such other instruments which are redeemable.
The shares department of The Great Eastern Shipping Company Limited aims at delivering valuable service to the shareholders of the company by providing consistent and adequate information at all times and redressing their problems and complaints in a timely manner.

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:

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.

On receipt of such a request dividend warrant will be issued.

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.
