Directors is decided by the Board of Directors within the limit
of 1% of the annual net profits of the Company in each of the
financial years, calculated in accordance with Section 197, 198
of the Act.

incentives and employee stock options granted pursuant
to the Employees Stock Option Plan, 2006 and Restricted
