WHISTLE BLOWER POLICY / VIGIL MECHANISM POLICY.

1 BACKGROUND

Section 177 of the Companies Act, 2013, which has come into effect from 1^st April, 2014, mandates that, every listed company is required to establish a vigil mechanism for the directors and employees, to report genuine concerns in such manner as may be prescribed. Such a vigil mechanism shall also provide for adequate safeguards against victimization of persons who use such mechanism and make provision for direct access to the chairperson of the Audit Committee, in appropriate or exceptional cases.

The amended Clause 49 of the Listing Agreement, which shall come into effect from 1^st October, 2014, also provides for mandatory establishment of vigil mechanism for directors and employees to report concerns about unethical behaviour, actual or suspected fraud or violation. The mechanism is also required to provide for adequate safeguards against victimisation of the directors/employees using the mechanism. (Clause 49, Sub -clause II (F))

Under these circumstances, Tai Industries Limited, being a Company listed with BSE and CSE, proposes to establish a Vigil Mechanism/ Whistle Blower mechanism and to formulate a policy for the same.

2. POLICY OBJECTIVES.

A Vigil mechanism shall provide a channel to the employees to report to the management concerns about unethical behaviour, actual or suspected fraud or violation of the Code of Conduct or Service Rules of the Company. The mechanism shall also provide for adequate safeguards against victimization of employees who avail of the mechanism and also provide for direct access to the Chairman of the Audit Committee in exceptional cases.

This neither releases employees from their duty of confidentiality in the course of their work nor can it be used as a route for raising malicious or unfounded allegations against people in authority and / or colleagues in general.

3. SCOPE OF THE POLICY.

This Policy covers malpractices and events which have taken place / suspected to have taken place, misuse or abuse of authority, fraud or suspected fraud, violation of Company's rules, manipulations, negligence causing danger to public health and safety, misappropriation of monies, and other matters or activity on account of which the interest of the Company is affected and formally reported by whistle blowers.

4. ELIGIBILITY

All Employees and directors of the Company are eligible to make Protected Disclosures under the Policy. The Protected Disclosures may be in relation to matters concerning the Company.

5. DISQUALIFICATIONS

a. While it will be ensured that genuine Whistleblowers are accorded complete protection from any kind of unfair treatment as herein set out, any abuse of this protection will warrant disciplinary action.

b. Protection under this Policy would not mean protection from disciplinary action arising out of false or bogus allegations made by a Whistleblower knowing it to be false or bogus or with a mala fide intention.

c. Whistleblowers, who make three or more Protected Disclosures, which have been subsequently found to be mala fide, frivolous, baseless, malicious, or reported otherwise than in good faith, will be disqualified from reporting further Protected Disclosures under this Policy. In respect of such Whistleblowers, the Company/Audit Committee would reserve its right to take/recommend appropriate disciplinary action.

6. DEFINITIONS.

"Protected Disclosure" means a concern raised by an employee or group of employees of the Company, through a written communication and made in good faith which discloses or demonstrates information about an unethical or improper activity under the title "SCOPE OF THE POLICY" with respect to the Company. However, the Protected Disclosures should be factual and not speculative or in the nature of an interpretation / conclusion and should contain as much specific information as possible to allow for proper assessment of the nature and extent of the concern.

Subject(s) have a right to be informed of the outcome of the investigations.

The investigation shall be completed normally within 90days of the receipt of the protected disclosure and is extendable by such period as the Audit Committee deems fit and as applicable.

9. DECISION AND REPORTING

The Audit Committee along with its recommendations will report its findings to the Managing Director through the Compliance Officer within 15 days of receipt of report for further action as deemed fit. In case prima facie case exists against the subject, then the Managing Director shall forward the said report with its recommendation to the concerned disciplinary authority for further appropriate action in this regard or shall close the matter, for which he shall record the reasons. Copy of above decision shall be addressed to the Audit Committee, the Compliance Officer, the Vigilance Officer, the complainant and the subject.

¦ Discuss only to the extent or with those persons as required under this policy for completing the process of investigations.

¦ Not keep the papers unattended anywhere at any time

¦ Keep the electronic mails / files under password.

11. PROTECTION.

No unfair treatment will be meted out to a whistle blower by virtue of his/ her having reported a Protected Disclosure under this policy. The company, as a policy, condemns any kind of discrimination, harassment, victimization or any other unfair employment practice being adopted against Whistle Blowers. Complete protection will, therefore, be given to Whistle Blowers against any unfair practice like retaliation, threat or intimidation of termination / suspension of service, disciplinary action, transfer, demotion, refusal of promotion or the like, including any direct or indirect use of authority to obstruct the Whistle Blower's right to continue to perform his duties / functions including making further Protected Disclosure. The company will take steps to minimize difficulties, which the Whistle Blower may experience as a result of making the Protected Disclosure. Thus if the Whistle Blower is required to give evidence in criminal or disciplinary proceedings, the Company will arrange for the Whistle Blower to receive advice about the procedure etc.

A Whistle Blower may report any violation of the above clause to the Chairman of the Audit Committee, who shall investigate the same and recommend suitable action to the management.

The identity of the Whistle Blower shall be kept confidential to the extent possible and permitted under law. The identity of the complainant will not be revealed unless he himself has made either his details public or disclosed his identity to any other office or authority. In the event of the identity of the complainant being disclosed, the Audit Committee is authorized to initiate appropriate action as per extant regulations against the person or agency making such disclosure. The identity of the

Whistleblower, if known, shall remain confidential to those persons directly involved in applying this policy, unless the issue requires investigation by law enforcement agencies, in which case members of the organization are subject to subpoena.

Any other Employee assisting in the said investigation shall also be protected to the same extent as the Whistle Blower.

Provided however that the complainant before making a complaint has reasonable belief that an issue exists and he has acted in good faith. Any complaint not made in good faith as assessed as such by the audit committee shall be viewed seriously and the complainant shall be subject to disciplinary action as per the Service Rules of the Company. This policy does not protect an employee from an adverse action taken independent of his disclosure of unethical and improper practice etc. unrelated to a disclosure made pursuant to this policy.

12. ACCESS TO CHAIRMAN OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

The Whistle Blower shall have right to access Chairman of the Audit Committee directly in exceptional cases and the Chairman of the Audit Committee is authorized to prescribe suitable directions in this regard.

13. COMMUNICATION.

A whistleblower policy cannot be effective unless it is properly communicated to employees. Employees shall be informed through by publishing in notice board and the web site of the company.

14. RETENTION OF DOCUMENTS.

All Protected disclosures documented along with the results of Investigation relating thereto, shall be retained by the Compliance Officer for a period of 5 (five) years or such other period as specified by any other law in force, whichever is more.
