    1. As the number of votes cast in favour of the Resolution is more than the number of votes cast against, I report that the Ordinary Resolution as set forth in the Postal Ballot Notice dated October 30, 2021 has been passed by the Members with requisite majority.
    1. The relevant records relating to voting shall be under my safe custody till the Chairman considers, approves and signs the minutes and thereafter, the same shall be returned to the Company Secretary of the Bank.
