 Amendment No. (b)

Existing Articles 25A(e) and 25A(ee) in the Articles of Association of the Exchange have become redundant in view of omission of Rule 8(4A) of the SCR Rules by Notification No. 2/3/SE-93 dated 13th October, 1994.

Amendment No. (d)

The said amendment is proposed to bring the said Article in tune with the applicable provisions and other Articles of the Exchange for correct and harmonious interpretation of the existing Articles without any ambiguity.

Amendment No. (e)

The said amendment is proposed to bring the said Article in tune with the provisions of Section 11 of Income Tax Act, 1961 and also to widen the scope of investment of the funds of the Association not immediately required.

         During the year under review, the net Surplus of Income over Expenditure, after providing for Depreciation, has increased to Rs. 995.19 lacs, as against the preceding year's corresponding Surplus of only Rs. 47.99 lacs.

   b)      Demat :

            The volume of deliveries in the Demat Segment has increased during the year under review due to inclusion of a larger number of companies in compulsory Demat segment.

            In order to render services to investors, e.g. publication of Official Report & Quotation, conducting training classes, attending investor complaints etc. the Exchange has spent an amount of Rs. 69,24,517/- during the year under review.

   5.      Construction of a proposed Stock Exchange complex on the Eastern Metropolitan Bypass :
