Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

1

Neeraj/Yogesh

Inquiry through Shopping Basket when converted in to an inquiry, the inquiry form contains a field called "Educational Qualification" in the "Position Details" section, is a mandatory field & also disabled. Thus user can't fill-up any text (because the field is disabled) also can't proceed (because the field is mandatory) Kindly activate this field.

2

Neeraj/Yogesh

In Scheduler "C"- Sales Order numbers against which minimum fees are yet to be received. Also reflect those SON's against which the balance amount to be receive is zero, i.e. for those SON's minimum search fees has already been received should go out from this scheduler.

3

Neeraj/Yogesh

Transaction/Interview Schedule screen where one has to fill up the three mandatory fields viz: 'Date of Interview, Time of Interview, Interview Venue' for all the shortlisted candidate. Kindly make these fields optional. The importance/essentiality of making OPTIONAL, following fields: Date of Interview, Time of Interview, Interview Venue. The logic is simple. Even if we have shortlisted & recommended (say) 5 candidates to the client, there is no way, we can insist/force the client to, Interview all of them (at all!) OR Even give us an "Interview schedule" (date/time/venue) for all of them right at the outset, even if he agrees/accepts that he will, in due course, interview all of them There is no way, we can tell a customer, "Either you give me interview date/time/venue for All or for NONE!"

2

After entering the candidate details in listing once, after 3 months if we add more names to the list, we are unable to process that particular candidates details any further. Your e-mail dated Feb.9, 2002 Point no.2 - Adding candidates at a later date

ASI:

It's working fine here. We have already provided "Get More" button in Edit mode in Interview Schedule and Interview Reschedule Transactions. This button can be used to fetch the candidates added later on in Candidate listings.

3P:

Get More button is available in the edit mode of Interview Schedule/interview reschedule, but after adding new candidates in module-1 & subsequently in OES candidate listing/transaction, system allows the user to save the record in this screen. However in the EDIT mode of "Interview Schedule screen", once we click the button "Get More" the candidates (previously added & newly added) are reflected in the screen. Once the user schedules the interview for newly added candidate, & the moment tries to save it system gives the error mentioned below, "P01-2147467259 ORA-20001: Error In Inserting OE_TDINTWSCHD ORA-00001: unique constraint (3P.INTWSCHDTL_PK) violated ORA-06512: at "3P.P_OE_TDINTWSCHDINSERT", line 67 ORA-06512: at line 1" & The URL address for the above error page is: http://192.168.1.101/InterviewSaveDel.asp.

Change request No.1, Item No. 47 (Menu Entry by Client) Query for the reports to check whether the data is present against a client or not was dropped, since the performance will become a big issue, however AppliTech agreed that once the Client Name, SON & position are filled in the opening screen the same parameters will be passed on to the relevant calling forms as the default value.

ASI:

ASI:

Done.

3P:

As far as Outstanding - Client Wise is concerned system reflects those SONs also, for which the outstanding amount is zero. Ideally, the system should not reflect data against those SONs for which outstanding amount is nil/zero. However Outstanding- Branch wise, SON wise, Consultants wise, Invoice type wise shows "You Do Not Have The Rights To View This Page" so we are unable to give any comment on this reports. We will wait until you rectify the errors in these screens.

Ahmedabad – 380 009

Dear Sir,

I am in receipt (thru fax) of your "Final Notice Before Action" letter dated Aug. 9, 2002.

If you were aware of the entire background of this matter, I am sure, you would not have sent the above-mentioned letter. In fact, I have a feeling that you would have persuaded your technical / marketing team to first complete the debugging of the Order Execution Software developed by you.

To make you fully aware of the background, I enclose for your careful study, copies of our following letters/ notices, sent to your executives:

  • Letter dated $21^{st}$ Dec, 2001
  • Letter dated $4^{th}$ April, 2002
  • Letter dated $6^{th}$ June, 2002
  • Letter dated $17^{th}$ June, 2002

Thru the above-mentioned letters, we have already asked you

  • $\to$ To immediately refund to us the amount of Rs. 5 Lakhs paid to you so far
  • $\to$ To immediately compensate us with a sum of Rs. 100 Lakhs (Rupees One Hundred Lakhs) for the business losses suffered by us till Dec 21, 2001.

(Letter from H. C. Parekh)

By this letter, I wish to advise you that, as a result of your continued failure to deliver/ install/ commission, a perfectly working/ fault-free/ bug-free software, we have incurred further business-loss of yet another sum of Rs. 50 Lakhs between Dec $21^{st}$, 2001 and $31^{st}$ July, 2002, thus, taking the total business-losses suffered by us to Rs. 150 Lakhs (One Hundred and Fifty Lakhs).

We demand that, within ONE WEEK of receipt of this letter, you pay us this sum of Rs. 150 Lakhs, along with the refund of Rs. 5 Lakhs already paid to you.

We also reserve the right to claim from you the costs expected to be incurred by us in carrying out the required changes/ modifications to the OES Software, as indicated in our letter to Mr. Ankil Patel, dated June 17, 2002.

Saraswat Bank MD eased out

Our Banking Bureau

MUMBAI, 12 AUGUST

The board of the Mumbai-headquartered Saraswat Co-operative Bank Ltd discontinued the services of managing director D R Shirodkar on Saturday and appointed S K Banerjee, general manager (legal), as acting managing director.1234

Shirodkar said the board expressed no confidence in his system of working. He joined Saraswat Bank in 1970 as a sub-accou5ntant and rose to the position of managing director in 1998. Banerjee was also not available for comments. Insiders said that Shirod6kar was sacked as he refused to yield to extraneous influences. He was a victim of a political game, they added.78

Saraswat Bank was in the new9s recently as it sent a legal notice to i-flex Solutions claiming damages of Rs 250 cr10ore on account of opportunity loss, loss of business and other costs on account of problems in implementing on time 'Flex Cube', a complete core banking solution package which would enable the bank to operate through a11 centralised network and automa12te ing its retail, treasury and whole-sale banking operations with the total contract value working out to a sum of Rs 3.5 crore.13

However, instead of suing for damages immediately, the bank has chosen to appoint an arbitrator and then file a writ14 petition seeking certain injunctions.

NOTICE

Re- i-flex solutions Ltd.

24-06-02

ISSUED IN THE INTEREST OF THE SHAREHOLDERS, CUSTOMERS OF THE BANK AND THE MEMBERS OF PUBLIC

With reference to the newspaper advertisement of Prospectus (advertisement) of I-flex solutions ltd. (I-flex) concerning their public issue through book building method, published in the Business Standard dated June 21, 2002, Saraswat Bank states as follows: -

The Bank reiterates and stands by the Public Notice issued by the Bank as well as the various statements made by the Bank in the newspaper articles which appeared in several publications.

  1. The advertisement of I-flex contains various false and misleading statements concerning licence agreement with the Bank and the Bank's claims.
  2. The statement made by I-flex that they had delivered 19 modules (except 3) is misleading and incorrect. The Bank states that I-flex has not delivered or implemented the software packages as per the agreement. The 16 modules delivered are incomplete and do not meet the requirements as per the agreement.
  3. The statement made by I-flex that the Bank has signed UAT is misleading and incorrect. The Bank has signed UAT conditionally subject to I-flex delivering many mission critical and statute compliant requirements in their software. This was acknowledged by I-flex and the said requirements were not delivered.
  4. Payments against all invoices raised by I-flex to date have not been made as stated. This was also informed to their auditors. The reasons stated by I-flex for non-payment are incorrect. Payments in respect of certain milestones have not been made, as all functional aspects of the software modules have not been complied with fully by I-flex.
  5. As a result the Bank has sent a Legal Notice to I-flex terminating the agreement and claiming losses. However, I-flex have not stated the contents of the Notice in entirety in the advertisement. In addition to claims for non performance, the Notice also contained the following claims: -

a) I-flex to desist from marketing the versions of FLEXCUBE software which incorporate the business knowledge and ideas and proprietary information of the Bank.

b) I-flex violated the terms of agreement by employing the Bank personnel.

This Notice has been issued in the interest of the Public at large.

For The Saraswat Co-operative Bank Ltd.
