A meeting of the Board shall be called by giving not less than seven days’ notice in

writing to every director at his address registered with the company and such notice shall be

sent by hand delivery or by post or by electronic means:

Provided that a meeting of the Board may be called at shorter notice to transact urgent

business subject to the condition that at least one independent director, if any, shall be

present at the meeting:

Provided further that in case of absence of independent directors from such a meeting

of the Board, decisions taken at such a meeting shall be circulated to all the directors and

shall be final only on ratification thereof by at least one independent director, if any.
