During the year under review, the Company donated ? 100,0007- to Calcutta Rescue, a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) established in 1979, for the purpose of free medical care, education, benefits and vocational training for increasing income generation opportunities and development to the poorest and most disadvantaged people of Kolkata and rural West Bengal irrespective of gender, age, caste, or religion so that they can become contributing and productive members of the society. The donation made to Calcutta Rescue qualifies for 50% exemption under Section 80 G (5) (vi) of the Income Tax Act, 1961.
In order to undertake the CSR activities directly by the Company more effectively and efficiently, a Section 8 Company, namely ''Inditrade Community Foundation'' (CIN: U85320KL2018NPL052582), was incorporated together with other subsidiary companies, on 21 March 2018.

6. In case the Company has failed to spend the two per cent of the average net profit of the last three financial years or any part thereof, the Company shall provide the reasons for not spending the amount in its Board report.
Based on the discussions held by the members, the Company decided to undertake the CSR activities directly by incorporating a Section 8 Company along with its subsidiaries. Due to changes/ modifications in Companies Act, 2013 and its rules and other procedural and regulatory delays, the Section 8 Company, ''Inditrade Community Foundation'' (CIN: U85320KL2018NPL052582) was incorporated only on 21st day of March, 2018. The Company was thus, unable to completely spend the amount. Thus, the Board and the CSR committee decided to make a contribution of Rs1,00,0007-(Rupees one lakh only) towards Calcutta Rescue, a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) established in 1979. It was also decided that an initial contribution of Rs 1,00,000/- (Rupees one lakh only) be made to ''Inditrade Community Foundation and initiate the CSR activities therein. Going forward, the Company intends to undertake the CSR activities directly through ''Inditrade Community Foundation'' (CIN: U85320KL2018NPL052582), and towards this end has undertaken the necessary steps. The Company would be evaluating more such avenues and endeavour to fully utilise the CSR amount earmarked for CSR activities in a judicious and beneficial manner in the forthcoming years.

* On a standalone basis
Overview
The year started off with the global economic crisis at its acute
stage. Despite this your Company recorded impressive growth in its
financial performance in the year 2009-10. On a standalone basis, the
revenues for the year were Rs. 48 crore as compared to Rs. 40.37 crore
during the previous year, registering an increase of 19%. The Company
recorded a profit of Rs. 1.5 crore in the current year as compared with
a loss of Rs. 1.10 crore in the previous year.
Business
Following the global economic meltdown, the Indian stock markets were
significantly impacted as capital inflows trailed back to the developed
economies. The global uncertainty and emerging market associated risks
had ripple effects on the Indian broking industry, impacting investor
participation and trading volumes. The Indian stock market indices fell
significantly, trading volumes, both in retail and institutional
segments, fell by over 60% of the peaks, availability of credit was
reduced and the retail investors lost a lot of wealth in equities. A
lot of brokerage houses significantly reduced expenses by stopping all
expansion plans, reducing existing branches, headcount reductions and
salary cuts across the Board. The profitability of sub-brokers declined
and a large number of small and medium brokerage houses suffered
losses. Across the broking industry, players reacted to thin trading
volumes and decreasing market share by further compressing broking
yields to retain a sustainable client base.
Subsidiaries, Associates and their operations
The commodity subsidiary JRG Wealth Management Ltd recorded revenue of

Ashoka Road, Kaloor, Kochi 682017 with the approval of shareholders
through postal ballot process.

approach the shareholders for their approval by way of postal ballot
process for changing the name of the Company from JRG Securities
Limitedà to Ãinditrade Capital Limitedà as part of the proposed
re-branding exercise. The proposed resolution was not carried out since
the votes cast in favour of the resolution were not three times the
votes cast against.
In its effort to popularise its products to a larger customer base and
diversify geographically, the Company strategised that a re-branding
process along with continuous investments in technology and human
resources, would help reiterate its commitment to its target market.
The Company decided to commence the re-branding process by introducing
its smarter online trading portal and website. On 15.04.10, the Company
successfully launched a new online offering inditrade.com.
inditrade.com empowers customers to trade online and invest in the
whole gamut of the CompanyÃs products - equities, commodities,
currencies, mutual funds and insurance. The brand inditrade connotes
superior execution, best-in-class technology and a dedicated team. The

à the service values that form the pillars of our success.
