• Non-Resident Indians/Overseas Corporate Bodies/Non-Domestic Companies: Acquirer will deduct tax at source at the applicable rates (including applicable cess & surcharge) on the Exit Price as may be applicable on short-term capital gains or business profits or long-term capital gains, as the case may be.

• Foreign Institutional Investors ("FII"): Acquirer will not deduct tax at source on the Exit Price if the Shares are held on investment/ capital account in view of the provisions of Section 196D(2) of the IT Act read with the provisions of Section 115AD of the IT Act. Tax will be deducted at source at the applicable rates (plus cess & surcharge as applicable) on the Exit Price if the Shares are held on trade account or if the FII fails to certify in the Form of Acceptance that the Shares are held by it on investment/capital account.

b) The rate of deduction of tax in the case of non-residents is dependent on several factors. Since the Acquirer doesnot have in-house information in respect of various non-resident Public Shareholders, such Public Shareholdersmust specify the details requested in the Form of Acceptance, including but not limited to the following information:(i) Residentialstatus of the Public Shareholder; (ii) Category to which the non-resident Publicshareholder belongs i.e., NonResident Indian, Overseas Corporate Body, Non-domestic company, Foreign Institutional Investor, FII other than acompany or any other non-resident; (iii) Date of acquisition of Equity Shares; (iv) Whether the Equity Shares areheld on investment account or trading account; (v) Whether the shares qualify as long term capital asset or shortterm capital asset; and (vii) availability of Form 10F.

Further, for the purpose of determining whether the capital gains are short-term or long-term, Acquirer shall takethe following actions based on the information obtained from the Company.

• In the case of Shares held in physical form that are registered with the Company in the name of the Shareholder, the date of registration of the Shares with the Company shall be taken as the date of acquisition.

• In the case of Shares held in a physical form and where the Shareholder is not the registered Shareholder, the capital gain shall be assumed to be short-term.

• In the case of dematerialized Shares, the date of credit of the Shares to the Shareholders Demat Account shall be taken as the date of acquisition.

In case of the documents/information as requested are not submitted to the Acquirer or the Acquirer considers the documents/information submitted to be ambiguous/incomplete/conflicting, the capital gain shall be assumed to be short-term and Acquirer reserves the right to withhold tax on the gross consideration at the applicable rate.

c) If the aforementioned categories of Shareholders require the Acquirer not to deduct tax or to deduct tax at a lower rate or on a lower amount, they would need to obtain a certificate from the Income Tax authorities under Section195(3) or under section 197(1) of the IT Act, and submit it to the Acquirer while submitting the Form of Acceptance. On failure to produce such certificate from the Income Tax authorities, Acquirer will deduct tax as aforesaid on the entire consideration, and a certificate in the prescribed form shall be issued to that effect.

d) The TDS provisions summarized above are applicable only to those Public Shareholders who have obtained Permanent Account Number ("PAN") under the IT Act and furnished the same in the Form of Acceptance. A self-attested copy of the PANcard/PAN allotment number is also required to be attached as evidence.

If PAN is not mentioned in the Form of Acceptance or a self attested copy of PAN card/PAN allotment letter is not attached, the seller shareholder should provide address of the country of residence, email ID and contact number Tax Residency Certificate [if the law of country of residence provides for such certificate], and Tax Identification Number [“TIN”] or in the absence of TIN, a unique identification number is required to be furnished through which the deductee is identified in the country of residence. In the absence of such documents and in view of Section 206AA of the IT Act, the Acquirer will arrange to deduct tax at the rate of 20% or the rate as may be applicable to the category of the Public Shareholder under the IT Act, whichever is higher.

Shareholders are advised to consult their tax advisors for the treatment that may be given by their respective as sessing officers in their case, and the appropriate course of action that they should take. Acquirer do not accept any responsibility for the accuracy or otherwise of such advice. Further, the tax laws as mentioned above are based on the prevailing provisions of the IT Act and may undergo change in view of any amendment, if any made in the IT Act. Acquirer reserves the right to apply the rates for tax withholding as applicable at the time of payment to shareholders.
