INDUS NETWORKS LIMITED
CODE OF CONDUCT FOR DIRECTORS
Introduction:
Indus
Networks Limited (a "Company")
is committed to maintain the highest standards
of ethical conduct. This Code of Conduct
for Directors reflects the business practices
and principles of behavior that support this
commitment. Our Board of Directors are responsible
for setting the standards of conduct contained
in the Code and for updating these standards
as appropriate to reflect legal and regulatory
developments. We expect every director to
read and understand this Code and its application
to the performance of his or her responsibilities.
We will hold each of our directors accountable
for adherence to this Code.
Compliance Officer:
The Secretary of the Company has designated
as its Compliance Officer to administer this
Code. Directors, at their discretion, may
make any report or complaint provided for
in this Code to the Chairman of the Board
of the Company or to the Compliance Officer.
The Compliance Officer will refer complaints
submitted, as appropriate, to the Chairman
of the Company.
Compliance With Applicable
Laws:
Directors
must
comply
with
all of
the laws,
rules
and regulations
of India
and
other
countries, as well as the states, counties,
cities, and other jurisdictions, applicable
to the Company or its business. This Code
does not summarize all laws, rules and regulations
applicable to the Company or its business.
The Directors are required to follow various
rules and regulations, including Corporate
Laws; securities laws concerning disclosure
requirements and insider trading and other
applicable laws. Directors should consult
with the Chairman of the Board or the Compliance
Officer if they have questions about laws
that they think may be applicable to the
Company or its business.
Conflicts Of Interest :
A "conflict of interest" may
exist whenever the interests of a director
conflict
in any way (or even appear to conflict) with
the interests of a Company. While our directors
should be free to make personal investments
and enjoy social relations and normal business
courtesies, they must not have any interests
that adversely influence the performance
of their responsibilities. A conflict situation
can arise when a director takes actions or
has interests that may make it difficult
to perform his or her Company responsibilities
objectively. Conflicts of interest also may
arise when a director, or a member of his
or her family, receives improper personal
benefits as a result of his or her position
with a Company, whether received from that
Company or a third party. Although it is
not always possible to avoid conflicts of
interest, it is each Company's policy to
prohibit such conflicts when po0ssible. Conflicts
of interest may not always be clear-cut,
so if directors have a question, they are
encouraged to consult with the Chairman of
the Board or the Compliance Officer. Any
director who becomes aware of a conflict
or potential conflict should bring it to
the attention of the Chairman of the Board
or the Compliance Officer.
Corporate Opportunity:
Except
as may be approved by the Board of Directors
or a committee of independent directors,
directors are prohibited from
(a) taking for themselves personally any
opportunities that belong to the Company
or are discovered through the use of corporate
property, information, or position;
(b) using corporate property, information,
or position for personal gain; and
(c) competing with the Company.
Confidentiality:
All directors must
maintain the confidentiality of confidential
information entrusted to
them by the Company, except when the applicable
Company authorizes disclosure or required
by laws, regulations, or legal proceedings.
The term "confidential information" includes,
but is not limited to, non-public information
that might be of use to competitors of the
Company, or harmful to the Company or its
customers if disclosed. Whenever feasible,
directors should consult the Chairman of
the Board or the Compliance Officer if they
believe they have a legal obligation to disclose
confidential information.
Fair Dealing:
Each
director should endeavor to deal fairly with
the respective Company's customers,
suppliers, competitors, officers and employees.
None should take unfair advantage of anyone
through manipulation, concealment, abuse
of privileged information, misrepresentation
of material facts, or any other unfair dealing
practice. Inappropriate use of proprietary
information, misusing trade secret information
that was obtained without0 the owner's consent,
or inducing such disclosures by past or present
employees of other companies is prohibited.
A director must perform his or her duties
in good faith, acting honestly, free from
the intention to defraud.
Protection And Proper
Use Of Company Assets:
All directors should perform their
duties in a manner that protects the Company's
assets
and ensures their efficient use. All Company
assets should be used for legitimate business
purposes.
Accounting Complaints:
The Audit Committee of the Board of
Directors are responsible for establishing
procedures
for the receipt, retention and treatment
of complaints regarding accounting, internal
accounting controls, or auditing matters.
Directors who have concerns or complaints
regarding such matters are encouraged to
promptly submit those concerns or complaints
to the Compliance Officer, subject to its
duties arising under applicable law, regulations
and legal proceedings, will treat such submissions
confidentially. Such concerns or complaints
may be made anonymously.
Reporting Any Illegal
Or Unethical Behavior:
Directors are encouraged to promptly
contact the Chairman of the Board or the
Compliance
Officer if the director believes that he
or she has observed illegal or unethical
behavior by any employee, officer, or director,
or by anyone purporting to be acting on Company's
behalf and, the reporting director has any
doubt about the best course of action in
a particular situation. Any such reports
may be made anonymously. Confidentiality
will be maintained, to the extent permitted
by law.
Public Company Reporting:
As public companies, it is of critical
importance that the Company's filings with
the Registrar
of Companies, Stock Exchanges and Securities
and Exchange Board of India be full, fair,
accurate, timely, and understandable. Directors
may be asked to provide information necessary
to assure that the Company's public reports
meet these requirements. The Company expects
its directors to take this responsibility
very seriously and to provide prompt and
accurate answers to inquiries related to
the Company's public disclosure requirements.
Amendment,
Modification And Waiver:
This Code may be amended, modified, or waived
by the Company's Board of Directors, subject
to the disclosure and other provisions of
the Securities and Exchange Board of India,
and the rules there under and the applicable
rules of the Bombay Stock Exchange Limited.
