**Section 2.02** Section 4.06 of the Deposit Agreement is amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

Section 4.06. <u>Fixing of Record Date</u>. Whenever necessary in connection with any distribution (whether in cash, Shares, rights, or other distribution), or whenever for any reason the Depositary causes a change in the number of Shares that are represented by each American Depositary Share, or whenever the Depositary shall receive notice of any meeting of or solicitation of consents or proxies from, holders of Shares or other Deposited Securities, or whenever the Depositary shall find it necessary or convenient, the Depositary shall fix a record date, as close as practicable to the record date fixed by the Bank with respect to the Shares (if applicable), for the determination of the Registered Holders who shall be entitled to receive such distribution, to give instructions for the exercise of voting rights at any such meeting, to give or withhold such consent, to receive such notice or solicitation or to otherwise take action or to exercise the rights of Registered Holders

------

with respect to such changed number of Shares represented by each American Depositary Share or for any other reason. Subject to applicable law and the provisions of Sections 4.01 through 4.05 hereof and to the other terms and conditions of this Deposit Agreement, only the Registered Holders of record at the close of business in New York on such record date fixed pursuant to this Section 4.06 shall be entitled to receive such distribution, to give such voting instructions, to receive such notice or solicitation, or otherwise take action.

**Section 2.03** Section 4.07 of the Deposit Agreement is amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

Section 4.07. <u>Voting of Deposited Securities</u>. Subject to the next sentence, as soon as practicable after receipt of notice of any meeting at which the holders of Deposited Securities are entitled to vote, or of solicitation of consents or proxies from holders of Deposited Securities, the Depositary shall fix the record date pursuant to Section 4.06 hereof in respect of such meeting or such solicitation of consents or proxies. The Depositary shall, if requested by the Bank in writing in a timely manner (the Depositary having no obligation to take any further action if the request shall not have been received by the Depositary at least 30 Business Days prior to the date of such vote or meeting) and at the Bank's expense, and provided no U.S. legal prohibitions exist, mail by regular, ordinary mail delivery (or by electronic mail or as otherwise may be agreed between the Bank and the Depositary in writing from time to time) or otherwise distribute as soon as practicable after receipt thereof to Registered Holders as of record date fixed pursuant to Section 4.06 hereof: (a) such notice of meeting or solicitation of consent or proxy; (b) a statement that the Registered Holders at the close of business on the record date fixed pursuant to Section 4.06 hereof will be entitled, subject to any applicable law, the provisions of this Deposit Agreement, the Bank's Memorandum and Articles of Association and the provisions of or governing the Deposited Securities (which provisions, if any, shall be summarized in pertinent part by the Bank), to instruct the Depositary as to the exercise of the voting rights, if any, pertaining to the Deposited Securities represented by such Registered Holder's American Depositary Shares; and (c) a brief statement as to the manner in which such voting instructions may be given to the Depositary, including the deadline by which the Depositary will require voting instructions to be delivered to it. Voting instructions may be given only in respect of a number of American Depositary Shares representing an integral number of Deposited Securities. Upon the timely receipt of voting instructions of a Registered Holder on the record date fixed pursuant to Section 4.06 hereof in the manner specified by the Depositary, the Depositary shall endeavor, insofar as practicable and permitted under applicable law, the provisions of this Deposit Agreement, the Bank's Memorandum and Articles of Association and the provisions of or governing the Deposited Securities, to vote or cause the Custodian to vote the Deposited Securities (in person or by proxy) represented by American Depositary Shares evidenced by such Receipt in accordance with such voting instructions.

Neither the Depositary nor the Custodian shall, under any circumstances exercise any discretion as to voting, and neither the Depositary nor the Custodian shall vote, attempt to exercise the right to vote, or in any way make use of for purposes of establishing a quorum or otherwise, the Deposited Securities represented by American Depositary Shares except pursuant to and in accordance with such written instructions from Registered Holders. Deposited Securities represented by American Depositary Shares for which (i) no timely voting instructions are received by the Depositary from the Registered Holder, or (ii) timely voting instructions are received by the Depositary from the Registered Holder but such voting instructions fail to specify the manner in which the Depositary is to vote the Deposited Securities represented by such Registered Holder's American Depositary Shares, shall not be voted.

There can be no assurance that Registered Holders or Beneficial Owners generally or any Registered Holder or Beneficial Owner in particular will receive the notice described above with sufficient time to enable the Registered Holder to return voting instructions to the Depositary in a timely manner.

Notwithstanding the above and in accordance with the terms of Section 5.03 of the Deposit Agreement, the Depositary and its directors, officers, affiliates, employees and agents (including without limitation, the Agents) shall not be liable for any failure to carry out any instructions to vote any of the Deposited Securities or the manner in which such vote is cast or the effect of such vote.

------

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Deposit Agreement, the Registered Holder agrees and understands that the exercise of voting rights in respect of the Deposited Securities is subject to legal and regulatory restrictions as set out in applicable laws of the Republic of India (including but not limited to section 12B of the Banking Regulation Act, 1949 as amended or replaced from time to time). If such Registered Holder fails to demonstrate its compliance with the said applicable laws to the sole satisfaction of the Bank (including but not limited to providing the information and documents sought by the Bank in this regard within the timeline specified by the Bank), the Bank shall not be under any obligation to take on record any voting instructions issued by such Registered Holder. Any decision of the Bank in this regard shall be final.

**Section 2.04** Article 16 of the form of Receipt is amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

16. FIXING OF RECORD DATES

Whenever necessary in connection with any distribution (whether in cash, Shares, rights or other distribution), or whenever for any reason the Depositary causes a change in the number of Shares that are represented by each American Depositary Share, or whenever the Depositary shall receive notice of any meeting of or solicitation of holders of Shares or other Deposited Securities, or whenever the Depositary shall find it necessary or convenient in connection with the giving of any notice, or any other matter, the Depositary shall fix a record date, as close as practicable to the record date fixed by the Bank with respect to the Shares (if applicable), for the determination of the Registered Holders who shall be entitled to receive such distribution, to give instructions for the exercise of voting rights at any such meeting, or to give or withhold such consent, or to receive such notice or solicitation or to otherwise take action, or to exercise the rights of Registered Holders with respect to such changed number of Shares represented by each American Depositary Share or for any other reason.

There can be no assurance that Registered Holders or Beneficial Owners generally or any Registered Holder or Beneficial Owner in particular will receive the notice described above with sufficient time to enable the Registered Holder to return voting instructions to the Depositary in a timely manner.

Notwithstanding the above and in accordance with the terms of Section 5.03 of the Deposit Agreement, the Depositary and its directors, officers, affiliates, employees and agents (including without limitation, the Agents) shall not be liable for any failure to carry out any instructions to vote any of the Deposited Securities or the manner in which such vote is cast or the effect of such vote.

If any distribution consists of a dividend in, or free distribution of, Shares, the Depositary may, and shall if the Bank so requests, distribute to the Registered Holders of Receipts on the record date fixed pursuant to Section 4.06 of the Deposit Agreement, in proportion to the number of American Depositary Shares held by each of them, additional Receipts in the same form for an aggregate number of American Depositary Shares representing the amount of Shares received as such dividend or free distribution, subject to the terms and conditions of the Deposit Agreement with respect to the deposit of Shares and the issuance of American Depositary Shares evidenced by Receipts, including the withholding of any tax or other governmental charge as provided in Section 4.11 of the Deposit Agreement and the payment of the fees, expenses and charges of the Depositary as provided in Article 7 hereof and Section 5.09 and Exhibit B of the Deposit Agreement. In lieu of delivering Receipts for fractional American Depositary Shares, the Depositary may, in its discretion, sell the amount of Shares represented by the aggregate of such fractions, at public or private sale, at such place or places and upon such terms as it may deem proper, and distribute the net proceeds of any such sale in accordance with Section 4.01 of the Deposit Agreement. If additional Receipts are not so distributed (except as pursuant to the preceding sentence), each American Depositary Share shall thenceforth also represent its proportionate interest in the additional Shares so distributed upon such Deposited Securities.

The Depositary shall distribute only such amounts, however, as can be distributed without attributing to any Registered Holder of a Receipt hereof a fraction of one cent and any balance not so distributable shall be retained by the Depositary beneficially as an additional fee under Section 5.09 of the Deposit Agreement. Before making any distribution or other payment in respect of any Deposited Securities, the Bank will make such deductions, if any, which, by any applicable laws or regulations, the Bank is required to make in respect of any income, capital gains or other taxes (including interest and penalties) and the Bank may also deduct the amount of any tax or governmental charges payable by the Bank or for which the Bank might be made liable in respect of such distribution or gains or other payments or any document signed in connection therewith or any capital gains or other taxes payable by the Registered Holders. The Bank or its agent will remit to the appropriate governmental agency in India all amounts withheld and owing to such agency. The Depositary will forward to the Bank or its agent such information from its records as the Bank may reasonably request to enable the Bank or its agent to file necessary reports with governmental agencies, and the Depositary or the Bank or its agent may file to the extent practicable any such reports necessary to obtain benefits under the applicable tax treaties for the Registered Holders of Receipts.

14. RIGHTS.

In the event that the Bank shall offer or cause to be offered to the holders of any Deposited Securities any rights to subscribe for additional Shares or any rights of any other nature, the Depositary shall as soon as practicable give notice to the Registered Holders of such offer (unless notified by the Bank that such offer or invitation should not be made), specifying, if applicable, the earliest date established for acceptance thereof, the last date established for acceptance thereof and the manner by which and time during which Registered Holders may request the Depositary to exercise such rights as provided below or, if such be the case, give details of how the Depositary proposes to distribute the rights or make the net proceeds available to such Registered Holders in accordance with the procedures for distributing cash provided for in Section 4.01 of the Deposit Agreement, or, if by the terms of such rights offering or for any other reason it would not be lawful or feasible for the Depositary either to make such rights available to any Registered Holders or to dispose of such rights and make the net proceeds available to such Registered Holders, then the Depositary shall allow the rights to lapse.

In circumstances in which rights would otherwise not be distributed generally, if the Bank and the Depositary determine that it is lawful and feasible to make such rights available to certain Registered Holders, the Depositary will, subject to applicable law, make such rights available to certain Registered

------

Holders in proportion to the number of American Depositary Shares held by such Registered Holder, upon written notice from the Bank to the Depositary that (a) the Bank has elected in its sole discretion to permit such rights to be exercised and (b) such Registered Holder has executed such documents as the Bank and the Depositary have determined are reasonably required under applicable law.

If the Depositary has distributed warrants or other instruments for rights to all or certain Registered Holders, then upon instruction from any such Registered Holder pursuant to such warrants or other instruments to the Depositary from such Registered Holder to exercise such rights, upon payment by such Registered Holder to the Depositary for the account of such Registered Holder of an amount equal to the purchase price of the Shares to be received upon the exercise of the rights, and upon payment of the fees and expenses of the Depositary and any other charges as set forth in such warrants or other instruments, the Depositary shall, on behalf of such Registered Holder, exercise the rights and purchase the Shares, and the Bank shall cause the Shares so purchased to be delivered to the Depositary on behalf of such Registered Holder. As agent for such Registered Holder, the Depositary will cause the Share!; so purchased to be deposited pursuant to Section 2.02 of the Deposit Agreement, and shall, pursuant to Section 2.03 of the Deposit Agreement, execute and deliver Receipts to such Registered Holder. In the case of a distribution pursuant to this paragraph, such Receipts shall be legended in accordance with applicable U.S. laws, and shall be subject to the appropriate restrictions on sale, deposit, cancellation, and transfer under such laws.

If the Depositary determines in its reasonable discretion that it is not lawful or feasible to make such rights available to all or certain Registered Holders, it may sell the rights, warrants or other instruments (either by public or private sale and otherwise at its discretion subject to Indian laws and regulations) in proportion to the number of American Depositary Shares held by the Registered Holders to whom it has determined it may not lawfully or feasibly make such rights available and allocate the net proceeds of such sales (net of the fees, expenses and charges of the Depositary as provided in Section 5.09 and Exhibit B of the Deposit Agreement and all taxes and other governmental charges payable in connection with such rights, and subject to the terms and conditions of the Deposit Agreement) for the account of such Registered Holders otherwise entitled to such rights, warrants or other instruments, upon an averaged or other practical basis without regard to any distinctions among such Registered Holders on account of exchange restrictions or the date of delivery of any Receipt or otherwise. The Depositary shall endeavor to effect any such sale as is contemplated in this paragraph, but shall have no liability (in the absence of its own willful default, negligence or bad faith of that of its agents, officers, directors or employees) with respect to the terms of such sale shall not be possible.

The Depositary will not offer rights to Registered Holders unless it has received from the Bank evidence, as provided in Section 5.07 of the Deposit Agreement, to the effect that (i) a registration statement under the Securities Act covering such offering is in effect or (ii) such offering does not require registration under the Securities Act. If a Registered Holder of Receipts requests the distribution of warrants or other instruments, notwithstanding that there has been no registration under the Securities Act, the Depositary shall not effect such distribution unless it has received an opinion from recognized counsel in the United States for the Bank satisfactory to the Depositary upon which the Depositary may rely that such distribution to such Registered Holder is exempt from such registration.

The Depositary shall not be responsible for any failure to determine that it may be lawful or feasible to make such rights available to Registered Holders in general or any Registered Holder in particular, any foreign exchange exposure or loss incurred in connection with such sale, or any liability to the purchaser of such rights, warrants or other instruments. Nothing in the Deposit Agreement shall create, or shall be construed to create, any obligation on the part of the Bank to file such a registration statement or to register such rights or the securities represented thereby under the Securities Act or any other applicable law.

------

Notwithstanding any provision of the Deposit Agreement or set forth herein to the contrary, the Bank shall not issue any rights or bonus shares in respect of the Deposited Securities nor shall the proceeds of a sale of such rights or bonus shares be repatriated by the Bank unless there is approval by the Reserve Bank of India to do so.

15. CONVERSION OF FOREIGN CURRENCY.

Whenever the Depositary or the Custodian shall receive foreign currency, received by way of dividends or other distributions or in the form of the net proceeds from the sale of securities, property or rights, and if, at the time, the foreign currency so received can, in the judgment of the Depositary be converted on a reasonable basis into Dollars and the resulting Dollars transferred to the United States, the Depositary shall as soon as practicable convert or cause to be converted as, by sale or in any other manner that it may determine, such foreign currency into Dollars, and such Dollars (less any reasonable and customary expenses incurred by the Depositary in the conversion of such foreign currency and any expenses incurred on behalf of the Registered Holder in complying with currency exchange control or other governmental requirements) shall be promptly distributed to the Registered Holders entitled thereto or, if the Depositary shall have distributed any warrants or other instruments which entitle the holders thereof to such Dollars, then to the holders of such warrants or instruments upon surrender thereof for cancellation, in either case, without liability for interest thereon. Such distribution may be made upon an averaged or other practicable basis without regard to any distinctions among Registered Holders on account of exchange restrictions, the date of delivery of any Receipt or otherwise.

If such conversion or distribution can be effected only with the approval or license of any government or agency thereof, the Depositary shall not be obligated to make such a filing, nor shall it be liable for failure to obtain such approval or license.

If at any time the Depositary shall determine that in its judgment any foreign currency received by the Depositary is not convertible on a reasonable basis into Dollars transferable to the United States, or if any approval or license of any government or agency thereof which is required for such conversion is denied or in the opinion of the Depositary is not obtainable, or if any such approval or license is not obtainable at a reasonable cost or within a reasonable period as determined by the Depositary, the Depositary may in its discretion, after notice to the Bank, and subject to applicable laws and regulations, either (i) subject to any approval or license, as required, of any government or agency thereof, distribute such foreign currency (or an appropriate document evidencing the right to receive such foreign currency) to the Registered Holders of Receipts entitled to receive the same, or (ii) hold such foreign currency for the respective accounts of such persons, uninvested and without liability for interest.

If any such conversion of foreign currency, in whole or in part, can be effected as aforesaid for distribution to some but not all of the Registered Holders of Receipts entitled thereto, the Depositary may in its discretion make such conversion and distribution in Dollars, to the extent such currency shall be convertible as aforesaid, to the Registered Holders of Receipts entitled thereto and, with respect to the balance of such foreign currency, shall in its discretion, after consultation with the Bank, and subject to any applicable law and regulations, either (i) distribute or make available for distribution such balance to the persons who were Registered Holders of Receipts entitled thereto with respect to whom such conversion could not then be effected, or (ii) hold such balance for the respective accounts of such persons, uninvested and without liability for interest.

16. FIXING OF RECORD DATES

Whenever necessary in connection with any distribution (whether in cash, Shares, rights or other distribution), or whenever for any reason the Depositary causes a change in the number of Shares that are represented by each American Depositary Share, or whenever the Depositary shall receive notice

------

of any meeting of or solicitation of holders of Shares or other Deposited Securities, or whenever the Depositary shall find it necessary or convenient in connection with the giving of any notice, or any other matter, the Depositary shall fix a record date, as close as practicable to the record date fixed by the Bank with respect to the Shares (if applicable), for the determination of the Registered Holders who shall be entitled to receive such distribution, to give instructions for the exercise of voting rights at any such meeting, or to give or withhold such consent, or to receive such notice or solicitation or to otherwise take action, or to exercise the rights of Registered Holders with respect to such changed number of Shares represented by each American Depositary Share or for any other reason. Subject to applicable law and the terms and conditions of this Receipt and the Deposit Agreement, only the Registered Holders of record at the close of business in New York on such record date fixed pursuant this Article 16 shall be entitled to receive such distributions, to give such voting instructions, to receive such notice or solicitation, or otherwise take action.

17. VOTING OF DEPOSITED SECURITIES

Subject to the next sentence, as soon as practicable after receipt of notice of any meeting at which the holders of Deposited Securities are entitled to vote, or of solicitation of consents or proxies from holders of Deposited Securities, the Depositary shall fix the record date pursuant to Article 16 hereof in respect of such meeting or such solicitation of consents or proxies. The Depositary shall, if requested by the Bank in writing in a timely manner (the Depositary having no obligation to take any further action if the request shall not have been received by the Depositary at least 30 Business Days prior to the date of such vote or meeting) and at the Bank's expense, and provided no U.S. legal prohibitions exist, mail by regular, ordinary mail delivery (or by electronic mail or as otherwise may be agreed between the Bank and the Depositary in writing from time to time) or otherwise distribute as soon as practicable after receipt thereof to Registered Holders as of the record date fixed pursuant to Article 16 hereof: (a) such notice of meeting or solicitation of consent or proxy; (b) a statement that the Registered Holders at the close of business on the record date fixed pursuant to Article 16 hereof will be entitled, subject to any applicable law, the provisions of the Deposit Agreement, the Bank's Memorandum and Articles of Association and the provisions of or governing the Deposited Securities (which provisions, if any, shall be summarized in pertinent part by the Bank), to instruct the Depositary as to the exercise of the voting rights, if any, pertaining to the Deposited Securities represented by such Registered Holder's American Depositary Shares; and (c) a brief statement as to the manner in which such voting instructions may be given to the Depositary, including the deadline by which the Depositary will require voting instructions to be delivered to it<sup>.</sup> Voting instructions may be given only in respect of a number of American Depositary Shares representing an integral number of Deposited Securities. Upon the timely receipt of voting instructions of a Registered Holder on the record date fixed pursuant to Article 16 hereof in the manner specified by the Depositary, the Depositary shall endeavor, insofar as practicable and permitted under applicable law, the provisions of the Deposit Agreement, the Bank's Memorandum and Articles of Association and the provisions of or governing the Deposited Securities, to vote or cause the Custodian to vote the Deposited Securities (in person or by proxy) represented by American Depositary Shares evidenced by such Receipt in accordance with such voting instructions.

Neither the Depositary nor the Custodian shall, under any circumstances exercise any discretion as to voting, and neither the Depositary nor the Custodian shall vote, attempt to exercise the right to vote, or in any way make use of for purposes of establishing a quorum or otherwise, Deposited Securities represented by American Depositary Shares except pursuant to and in accordance with such written instructions from Registered Holders. Deposited Securities represented by American Depositary Shares for which (i) no timely voting instructions are received by the Depositary from the Registered Holder, or (ii) timely voting instructions are received by the Depositary from the Registered Holder but such voting instructions fail to specify the manner in which the Depositary is to vote the Deposited Securities represented by such Registered Holder's American Depositary Shares, shall not be voted.

------

There can be no assurance that Registered Holders or Beneficial Owners generally or any Registered Holder or Beneficial Owner in particular will receive the notice described above with sufficient time to enable the Registered Holder to return voting instructions to the Depositary in a timely manner.

Notwithstanding the above and in accordance with the terms of Section 5.03 of the Deposit Agreement, the Depositary and its directors, officers, affiliates, employees and agents (including without limitation, the Agents) shall not be liable for any failure to carry out any instructions to vote any of the Deposited Securities or the manner in which such vote is cast or the effect of such vote.

Notwithstanding anything contained in the Deposit Agreement, the Registered Holder agrees and understands that the exercise of voting rights in respect of the Deposited Securities is subject to legal and regulatory restrictions as set out in applicable laws of the Republic of India (including but not limited to section 12B of the Banking Regulation Act, 1949 as amended or replaced from time to time). If such Registered Holder fails to demonstrate its compliance with the said applicable laws to the sole satisfaction of the Bank (including but not limited to providing the information and documents sought by the Bank in this regard within the timeline specified by the Bank), the Bank shall not be under any obligation to take on record any voting instructions issued by such Registered Holder. Any decision of the Bank in this regard shall be final.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;18. CHANGES AFFECTING DEPOSITED SECURITIES, RECLASSIFICATION, RECAPITALIZATIONS, ETC.

Upon any change in nominal value, split-up, cancellation, consolidation, or any other reclassification of Deposited Securities, or upon any recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation, or sale of assets affecting the Bank or to which it is a party, any securities which shall be received by the Depositary or a Custodian in exchange for, or in conversion of or replacement or otherwise in respect of such Deposited Securities shall be treated as new Deposited Securities under the Deposit Agreement, and Receipts shall, subject to the provisions of the Deposit Agreement, and applicable law and regulations, evidence American Depositary Shares representing the right to receive such additional Deposited Securities. Alternatively, the Depositary may, with the Bank's approval, and shall, if the Bank shall so request, subject to the terms of the Deposit Agreement and applicable law, execute and deliver additional Receipts as in the case of a stock dividend on the Deposited Securities, or call for the surrender of outstanding Receipts, to be exchanged for new Receipts, in either case, as well as in the event of newly deposited Shares, with necessary modifications to the form of this Receipt, specifically describing such new Deposited Securities or corporate change. If the Bank approves or requests the execution and delivery of additional Receipts, the Bank shall, jointly with the Depositary, amend the Registration Statement on Form F-6 as filed with the Commission to permit the issuance of such new form or Receipts.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any security so received may not be lawfully distributed to some or all Registered Holders, the Depositary may with the Bank's approval and shall if the Bank requests, subject to applicable law, sell such securities at public or private sale, at such place or places and upon such terms as it may deem proper and may allocate the net proceeds of such sales for the account of the Registered Holders otherwise entitled to such securities upon an averaged or other practicable basis without regard to any distinctions among such Registered Holders and distribute the net proceeds so allocated to the extent practicable as in the case of a distribution received in cash pursuant to Section 4.01 of the Deposit Agreement. The Depositary shall not be responsible for (i) any failure to determine that it may be lawful or feasible to make such securities available to Registered Holders in general or any Registered Holder or Registered Holders in particular, (ii) any foreign exchange exposure or loss incurred in connection with such sale, or (iii) any liability to the purchaser of such securities.

19. LIABILITY OF THE BANK AND DEPOSITARY.

------

Neither the Depositary, the Custodian nor the Bank nor any of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents, assumes any obligation or shall be subject to any liability (including, without limitation, as to the Depositary and Custodian, liability with respect to the validity or worth of the Deposited Securities) under the Deposit Agreement to Registered Holders or Beneficial Owners of Receipts, other than that each of them agrees to perform its obligations and duties specifically set forth in the Deposit Agreement without gross negligence or bad faith.

Neither the Depositary nor the Bank shall be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any action, suit or other proceeding in respect of any Deposited Securities or in respect of the Receipts, which in its opinion may involve it in expense or liability, unless indemnity satisfactory to it against all expenses and liabilities be furnished as often as may be required, and the Custodian shall not be under any obligation whatsoever with respect to such proceedings, the responsibility of the Custodian being solely to the Depositary.

Neither the Depositary, the Custodian nor the Bank shall be liable for any action or non-action by it in reliance upon the advice of or information from legal counsel, accountants, any person presenting Shares for deposit, any Registered Holder or Beneficial Owner of a Receipt or any other person believed by it in good faith to be competent to give such advice or information. The Depositary, the Custodian and the Bank may rely and shall be protected in acting upon any written notice, request, direction or other document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties.

The Depositary shall not be liable for any acts or omissions made by a successor depositary whether in connection with a previous act or omission of the Depositary or in connection with any matter arising wholly after the removal or resignation of the Depositary, provided that in connection with the issue out of which such potential liability arises the Depositary performed its obligations without negligence or bad faith while it acted as Depositary.

Neither the Depositary nor its agents shall be responsible for any failure to carry out any instructions to vote any of the Deposited Securities, or for the manner or effect of any such vote made either with or without request, or for not exercising any right to vote, as long as any such action or non-action is in good faith and in accordance with the terms of the Deposit Agreement.

No disclaimer of liability under the Securities Act is intended by any provision of the Deposit Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;20. RESIGNATION AND REMOVAL OF THE DEPOSITARY; APPOINTMENT OF SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY; APPOINTMENT OF SUBSTITUTE OR ADDITIONAL CUSTODIANS.

Subject to the provisions of the next paragraph and Section 6.02 of the Deposit Agreement, the Bank may terminate the appointment of the Depositary under the Deposit Agreement by giving at least 30 days' notice in writing to the Depositary and the Custodian, and the Depositary may resign as Depositary by giving at least 30 days' notice in writing to the Bank and the: Custodian. Within 30 days after the giving of such notice, notice thereof shall be duly given by the Depositary to the Registered Holders. In the event a successor depositary has not been appointed and accepted its appointment within 60 days, the Depositary may terminate the Deposit Agreement as provided in Section 6.02 thereof.

The termination of the appointment or the resignation of the Depositary shall take effect on the date specified in such notice; provided that no such termination of appointment or resignation shall take effect until the appointment by the Bank of a successor Depositary as hereinafter provided.

In case at any time the Depositary acting hereunder shall resign or be removed, the Bank, unless the Bank shall desire the termination of the Deposit Agreement as provided in Section 6.02 thereof, shall use its best efforts to appoint a successor depositary, which shall be a bank or trust company having

------

its principal office in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York with effect from the date of termination or resignation specified in such notice as soon as reasonably possible following notice of such termination or resignation. Every successor depositary shall execute and deliver to its predecessor and to the Bank an instrument in writing accepting its appointment hereunder, and thereupon such successor depositary, without any further act or deed, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor; provided, however, that such predecessor, upon payment of all sums due it and on the written request of the Bank, shall execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor all rights and powers of such predecessor hereunder, shall duly assign, transfer and deliver all right, title and interest in the Deposited Securities to such successor and shall deliver to such successor a list of the Registered Holders of all outstanding Receipts and such other information relating to Receipts and Registered Holders thereof as the successor may reasonably request. The Depositary shall promptly mail notice of the appointment of the successor depositary to the Registered Holders of Receipts and the Custodian.

Any corporation into or with which the Depositary may be converted, merged or consolidated shall be the successor of such Depositary without the execution or filing of any document or any further act.

The Depositary may appoint one or more agents to act as its Custodian under the Deposit Agreement. The Depositary has initially appointed ICICI Bank Limited as Custodian and agent of the Depositary for the purpose of the Deposit Agreement. Any Custodian in acting under the Deposit Agreement shall be subject at all times and in all respects to the directions of the Depositary, and shall be responsible solely to it. Any Custodian may resign and be discharged from its duties by notice of such resignation delivered to the Depositary at least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which such resignation is to become effective. If upon the effectiveness of such resignation there shall be no Custodian acting, the Depositary shall, promptly after receiving such notice, appoint, subject to the written approval of the Bank which shall not be unreasonably withheld, a substitute custodian that is organized under the laws of India which shall thereafter be a Custodian. Whenever the Depositary in its discretion determines that it is in the best interest of the Registered Holders to do so, it may appoint or substitute additional custodian or custodians, which shall thereafter be one of the Custodians under the Deposit Agreement subject in each instance to the written approval of the Bank. Upon demand of the Depositary any previous Custodian shall deliver the Deposited Securities held by it to any other Custodian or such substitute or additional custodian or custodians as the Depositary shall instruct. Each such substitute or additional custodian or custodians shall deliver to the Depositary, forthwith upon its appointment an acceptance of such appointment satisfactory in form and substance to the Depositary.

Upon the appointment of any successor depositary, any Custodian then acting shall forthwith become, without any further act or Writing, the agent of such successor depositary, and the appointment of such successor depositary shall in no way impair the authority of any Custodian; provided, however, that the successor depositary so appointed shall, on the Written request of any Custodian, execute and deliver to such Custodian all such instruments as may be proper to give to such Custodian full and complete power and authority as agent of such successor depositary.

21. AMENDMENT

The form of the Receipts and any provisions of the Deposit Agreement may at any time and from time to time be amended by agreement between the Bank and the Depositary in any respect which they may deem necessary or desirable. Any amendment which shall impose or have the effect of increasing, any fees or charges payable by the Registered Holders of Receipts (other than the fees of the Depositary for the execution and delivery or cancellation of Receipts and taxes or other governmental charges, registration fees and cable, telex or facsimile transmission and delivery expenses), or which shall otherwise prejudice any substantial existing right of Registered Holders of Receipts, shall not become effective as to outstanding Receipts until the expiration of thirty (30) days after notice of such amendment shall have been given to the Registered Holders of outstanding Receipts. The parties hereto agree that any amendments or supplements which (i) are reasonably necessary (as agreed by the Bank

------

and the Depositary) in order for (a) the American Depositary Shares to be registered on Form F-6 under the Securities Act or (b) the American Depositary Shares or Shares to be traded solely in electronic book-entry form and (ii) do not in either such case impose or increase any fees or charges to be borne by Registered Holders, shall be deemed not to prejudice any substantial rights of Registered Holders or Beneficial Owners. Every Registered Holder of an outstanding Receipt at the time any such amendment so becomes effective shall be deemed, by continuing to hold such Receipt, to consent and agree to such amendment and to be bound by the Deposit Agreement as amended thereby. In no event shall any amendment impair the right of the Registered Holder of any Receipt to surrender such Receipt and receive therefor the Deposited Securities represented thereby except an order to comply with mandatory provisions of applicable law or regulations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any governmental body should adopt new laws, rules or regulations which would require amendment or supplement of the Deposit Agreement to ensure compliance therewith, the Bank and the Depositary may amend or supplement the Deposit Agreement and the Receipt at any time in accordance with such changed rules. Such amendment or supplement to the Deposit Agreement in such circumstances may become effective before a. notice of such amendment or supplement is given to Registered Holders or within any other; period of time as required for compliance.

22. TERMINATION OF DEPOSIT AGREEMENT

The Depositary shall at any time, at the direction of the Bank, terminate the Deposit Agreement by mailing notice of such termination to the Registered Holders of all Receipts then outstanding at least 90 days prior to the date fixed in such notice for such termination save that, in the absence of the willful default, negligence or bad faith of the Depositary, its agents, directors, officers or employees, no such termination shall have effect until the Bank has paid to the Depositary an amount equal to all expenses incurred by the Depositary in connection with the establishment of the American Depositary Receipt facility established pursuant to this Depositary Agreement and the American Depositary Receipts issued hereunder, The Depositary may likewise terminate the Deposit Agreement by mailing notice of such termination to the Bank and the Registered Holders of all Receipts then outstanding, if at any time 60 days shall have expired after the Depositary shall have delivered to the Bank a written notice of its election to resign and a successor depositary shall not have been appointed and accepted its appointment as provided in the Deposit Agreement. Within 30 days after the giving of such notice, notice of such termination shall be duly given by the Depositary to the Registered Holders of all Receipts then outstanding.

During the period beginning on the date of the giving of such notice by the Depositary to the Registered Holders and ending on the date on which such termination takes effect, each Registered Holder of a Receipt will, upon (a) surrender of such Receipt at the Corporate Trust Office of the Depositary, (b) payment of the fee of the Depositary for the surrender of Receipts referred to in Section 5.09 and Exhibit B of the Deposit Agreement, and (c) payment of any applicable taxes or other governmental charges, be entitled to delivery, to him or upon his order, of the amount of Deposited Securities represented by the American Depositary Shares evidenced by such Receipt.

If any Receipts shall remain outstanding after the date of termination, the Depositary shall, if practicable, sell the Deposited Securities then held under the Deposit Agreement by public or private sale as it may deem appropriate (but shall have no liability with respect to such sale) and, as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, deliver the net proceeds of any such sale, together with any other cash then held by it thereunder, unsegregated and without liability for interest, for the pro rata benefit of the Registered Holders of Receipts which have not theretofore been surrendered, such Registered Holders thereupon becoming general creditors of the Depositary with respect to such net proceeds. After making such sale, the Depositary shall be discharged from all obligations under the Deposit Agreement, except to account for such net proceeds and other cash without interest (after deducting, in each case, the fee of the Depositary for the surrender of a Receipt, any expenses for the account of the Registered Holder of such Receipt in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Deposit

------

Agreement, and any applicable taxes or other governmental charges). Upon the termination of the Deposit Agreement, the Depositary and the Bank shall be discharged from all obligations under the Deposit Agreement except for their respective obligations under Section 5.08 of the Deposit Agreement and the Bank's obligations to the Depositary under Section 5.09 of the Deposit Agreement.

Where the Bank has either (i) terminated the appointment of the Depositary pursuant to the provisions of the Deposit Agreement and the Terms and Conditions of the American Depositary Receipts; (ii) established an American Depositary Receipt program or any other program under which the outstanding American Depositary Receipts would be exchanged from the existing American Depositary Receipt program into any new program, or (iii) terminated the American Depositary Receipt program for any reason at any time (including for the avoidance of doubt where the Bank does not appoint Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas as depositary bank for any Global Depositary Receipts or American Depositary Receipts issued subsequent to the date of the Deposit Agreement), the Bank agrees, in the absence of the willful default, gross negligence or bad faith of the Depositary or its agents, directors, officers; or employees, that it shall reimburse the Depositary any portion of any contribution paid to the Bank by the Depositary in connection with the offer of the American Depositary Receipts which remains outstanding at the time of such termination, such contribution not having been recovered by the Depositary through issuance and dividend fees in accordance with the Deposit Agreement and the Terms and Conditions of the American Depositary Receipts.
