- Whistle Blowers should not act on their own in conducting any investigative activities, nor do they have a right to participate in any investigative activities other than as requested by the Designated Authority/ Audit Committee.
Whistle blowers provide initial information based on a reasonable belief that an alleged wrongful conduct has occurred. The motivation of a whistle blower is irrelevant to the consideration of the validity of the allegations.
Whistle blower has a responsibility to be candid with the members of the Whistle Blower Committee/ Audit Committee, as the case may be, to whom they make a report of alleged improper activities and shall set forth all known information regarding any reported allegations
REPORTING A CONCERN
All suspected concerns/violations are to be reported to the Head of Internal Audit (Designated Authority) for investigation at the following contacts:
| Email: | whistleblower@netfotech.in |
| Mailing Address: | World Trade Center Tower 2, Level 9 Opposite: EON IT Park Kharadi Pune – 411014 India |

PROTECTION OF WHISTLE BLOWER
Subject to provisions under the heading “Untrue allegations”, no unfair treatment will be meted out to a Whistle Blower by virtue of his/her having reported a concern under this Policy.

Protection will 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 Disclosure.

ANONYMOUS ALLEGATIONS
This Policy encourages individuals to put their name to any Disclosures they make. Disclosures expressed anonymously are much less credible and may not be considered for further investigation. In exercising this discretion, the factors that shall be taken into account by the Designated Authority/Audit Committee will include:
- The seriousness of the issues raised;
- The credibility of the concern; and
- The likelihood of confirming the allegation from attributable sources.
UNTRUE ALLEGATIONS
In making a disclosure the individual should exercise due care to ensure the accuracy of the information. If an individual makes an allegation in good faith, which is not confirmed by subsequent investigation, no action will be taken against that individual. If however, an individual makes malicious or vexatious allegations, and particularly if he or she persists with making them despite the outcome of the investigation, the Audit Committee may recommend action against the individual. However, the intention is to provide full protection to any individual acting in good faith.
TIME FRAME
The investigation shall be completed normally within 60 days of the receipt of the concern. However, in appropriate cases, the Designated Authority or the Audit Committee, for reasons to be recorded in writing may take longer time to complete the investigation.
