The end use of these fabrics is Made Ups – (Bed Linen, Pillowcases, Duvet Covers etc). The dyed fabric is brought to NMK’s factory in Bhiwandi and it is cut, stitched and packed to be exported to other countries.

a) Mattresses
b) Pillows
c) Made Ups – Bed Linen, Duvet Cover, Quilts, Comforters etc made of Cotton and other material such as Silk, Polyster etc
d) Beds (with Electrical Motor)

NMK is entering into a tie up with departmental store in Mumbai where these goods will be sold from that departmental store as a shop in shop concept. The address of the departmental store will be shown as additional place of business. Apart from this NMK also intends to open its own store in Mumbai.

### **Remuneration and Professional Fees to Directors**

**a) Legal Basis for Remuneration:**
- **Remuneration to Directors:** It is permissible to pay remuneration and professional fees to directors. This is typically governed by the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013, and the company's Articles of Association.
- **Section Reference:** Under the Companies Act, 2013, Section 197 deals with the remuneration of directors. The payment must be within the limits prescribed by the Act and must be authorized by a resolution passed by the Board of Directors and/or shareholders, depending on the amount.
