III. Subsequently, on this matter, a Clarification dated 01.09.2018 was issued by the Corporate Laws and Corporate Governance Committee (CLCGC) stating that Since this disclosure requirement was event specific, and hence was relevant for Financial Year 2016-17 only and required disclosure is also for period falling under that financial year.
