c. To identify areas for improving and developing safety programs. d. To inculcate safety habits, among employees. A specimen of the standard reporting format is enclosed as Annexure 2-1 (2.2) What is Reportable?
Any incident, on or off-the-job, resulting or likely to result in: a. Fatality b. Injury leading to i) Lost Work Day ii) Restricted Work iii) Medical Treatment. c. Damage to Company assets/vehicles A specimen of the standard reporting format is enclosed as Annexure 2-2 (2.3) Basic Safety Definitions a. Fatality: A death resulting from a work injury or occupational illness. b. Lost Work Day (Unable to Work): An injury or occupationally-induced illness which results in the employee being away from work on any workday following the incident. Note that when calculating time lost, the day of the injury is not counted. Counting starts with the following lost workday. Such injuries are also referred to as disabling injuries. For cases which are not clear-cut, the following test should be applied: In some cases, an injured or an ill employee will miss one or more scheduled days or shifts besides the day of injury or onset of illness, but it will be uncertain whether the employee was truly unable to work on the days missed. The employer should not solely rely on the physicians opinion. He should make the final judgment himself based on evidence at his disposal. c. Lost Workday Case-Restricted Duty: An injury or occupationally induced illness which prevents the employee from performing the normal duties of his regularly assigned job on any workday following the incident. When calculating time lost, the same considerations apply as noted above. d. Non-Lost Workday Cases: All other medical treatment cases, except simple first-aid cases. The basic guideline is that treatment must be given by a doctor, not a nurse (e.g. stitches). e. Contractor unable to Work: Same definition as (b) above. f. Off the Job Unable to Work:

Any injury sustained in the employees own time which results in the employee being away from work on any workday following the incident. Absenteeism due to illness is excluded. (2.4) Communication Channels for Reportable Injuries Deadline for Reporting to Lahore Head Office: This is immediate, after administering medical aid which should be the first priority. For field conditions, where immediate communications may pose a problem, efforts should be made to report the incident not later than within 10 hours of occurrence. Communication Responsibility Line: The primary responsibility line, for communicating reportable incidents, will flow as follows: i) Advisor/RMMs/MM ii) Marketing Manager iii) Functional Executive (Sr GM Agri. Business) iv) CEO In the absence of the functional departmental manager, the functional executive (Sr GM Agri. Business) should be informed. If the functional executive is not available, the CEO may be informed. In case persons with primary responsibility are out of town, on vacation or not available, the reporting line will move down as follows: i) Chairman, Non-Manufacturing Safety Committee ii) HR Manager iii) Any other Department Manager

Motor Vehicle Accident Guidelines

In case of an accident or injury to a person, or animal, or damage to property, it is the duty of the driver of the vehicle involved in that accident, to:a. Make every possible effort to secure medical attention for the injured person. If it is necessary to take the injured person to a hospital then he should be taken to the nearest hospital unless the injured person (or guardian in case of a minor) desires otherwise. b. Endeavor to locate the owner and report the injury caused to an animal and take all reasonable steps to secure medical attention for the animal. c. Report damage caused to property to the party sustaining the damage. (The word Property will include a parked vehicle without a driver). If no police officer or any person from the authorities is present at the place of the accident, then the accident (all three categories as above) must be reported to the nearest police station as soon as possible but not later than 24 hours of the accident. It is obligatory on the driver or the owner of the vehicle involved in an accident to:

Supply on demand all information relating to the accident to the police officer or any other officer authorized by the government in this respect. Assist in inspection of the vehicle involved in an accident by any person authorized by the government and for that purpose, that person may enter at any reasonable time the premises where the vehicle is kept and remove the vehicle for inspection.
However, the person removing the vehicle must inform the owner of the place to which the vehicle is removed and must return the vehicle without delay and not later than 48 hours of removal. Punishment for non-complying with the legal requirements as mentioned above (taken from the Provincial Motor Vehicle Ordinance 1965) can extend to a fine or imprisonment under the Motor Vehicles Ordinance. (3.1) Issues of Settlement Sometimes, a settlement is reached between the driver and the injured person or a guardian of the deceased or of an injured person as the case may be. In that case, a. A proper receipt for the amount thus given should be taken from the other party. b. The receipt should be in the form of a release from further legal action and in full and final settlement of the claim. c. Once a settlement is reached, the driver and the aggrieved party both should bring this fact to the knowledge of the police officer present at the spot or at the police station as the case may be. d. The statement of the aggrieved party to the police that they have been adequately compensated and have no action against the driver will be helpful in resolving the matter and the police may not wish to proceed against the driver. e. It should be clearly realized that this settlement will be a private arrangement between the parties and would not absolve the driver or the owner of the vehicle from legal obligations like reporting and criminal action. f. Other passengers traveling in the vehicle involved in an accident are not obliged to record their statements at the time when the matter is reported. They may however be called upon later to give evidence if a case is filed. (3.2) Important: A person driving a motor vehicle is under a duty to control it. The negligence of one party cannot excuse negligence on the part of the other party. All accidents/incidents whether major or minor, involving Company vehicles or other transport resulting in injury to the employee/third party or damage to Company property/ property of third party should be reported immediately within 46 hours of occurrence through the Marketing Manager to the Chairman, DH, NonManufacturing Safety Committee.

Dos and Donts of Defensive Driving

The most important safety factor is competent driver paying attention to the task behind wheel. Below are some tips on defensive driving in the form of DOs and Donts. The objective is to focus on the most important specific areas of driving (habits and situations) having risk potential and to draw conclusions for defensive and safe driving. (4.1) DOs a. b. c. d. e. f. g. h. i. j. k. l. m. n. o. p. q. r. s. t. u. v. When driving, practice the three Cs: Control, Concentration and Courtesy. Have well planned schedules, leave early and complete the day before dark. Ensure personal fitness before traveling. Lock your car and lock the steering while parking. Wear seat belts at all times and ensure that the passenger in the front seat also wears them. Drive at safe speeds even on clear open stretches or good highways. When there is light or initial rain, apply brakes carefully/gently as the road surface is greasy and slippery. Be careful of tractor trolleys whether moving or parked. When you see people who intend crossing the road, slow down considerably and watch their movements Allow speeding buses or trucks to overtake you. Be careful of cyclists and pedestrians. Blow your horn when you intend to overtake to alert the other driver. When traffic from the opposite has full lights on, dip your lights and be extra cautious if overtaking other vehicles. When approaching a town, drop to a safe speed (say 20-50 km/hr as needed) When nearing small towns always slow down and be extremely careful to watch out for speed-breakers. When passing a stationary bus, reduce speed, use the horn and be careful of passengers crossing the road from in front of the bus. On the road, beware of animals and animal-driven carts. Park the car away from moving traffic. Carry a torch in your vehicle at all times. Slow down considerably under wet conditions. Make allowances for the mistakes and poor driving habits of others. If it is raining very hard and you cannot see properly, pull over to the side of the road and wait till the rain decreases.
(4.2)
Donts a. Do not overtake on curves and bridges and if a solid line is on your side of the road. b. Minimize driving after dark. c. Avoid deserted roads and risky short cuts. d. Do not give lift to strangers including women.

Do not carry firearms. Do not flaunt money at petrol stations or other public places. Do not drive if under the influence of strong medical drugs or alcohol. Do not race with other drivers. Try not to smoke while driving and never smoke at petrol stations. Do not overtake when there are two vehicles ahead of you and one is trying to overtake the other. k. Never tailgate, keep two vehicle lengths for each 10 km of speed between you and the vehicle in front of you. Or 3 second distance l. Do not use cell phone while driving. If it is necessary stop your car off the road and attend the call. (4.3) Use of Safety Belt and Helmets All company cars provided to employees are equipped with safety belts for the driver and the co-passenger on the front seat. It has been established that the use of a safety belt by the driver of a vehicle and co-passenger considerably diminishes the risk of injuries or fatalities in case of road accidents. Recognizing the usefulness and importance of safety belts as a critical safety tool, DHFL has made it mandatory for its employees to use safety belts while driving company as well as private vehicles. It is also the responsibility of the driver to ensure that the co-passenger at the front seat also uses the safety belt. The Company provides the facility of sharing half the cost of seat belts (if not already present) to employees who do not have a company car and drive their own car. Motorcycle drives in the organization are required to wear helmets while driving. Similarly, the company shares half the cost of helmets for employees who use their own motorcycles.
Section 'B': Security (1) Security in the Field

Definition: Security can be defined as counter measures adopted by a person or group of persons to safeguard company personnel, assets and information. Field personnel are often exposed to situations involving potential risk to their security. This is mainly because of the following reasons: a. Their job involves substantial traveling on highways. b. The law and order situation may become really bad in some suburban towns/highways where we operate.

c. A field officer of DHFL, because of his background, has relatively higher visibility in the town where he lives. The following are some possible hazards to which field personnel are exposed during the course of business: a. Hold up or robbery on the road. b. Kidnapping c. Sabotage d. Political and ethnic disturbances Field personnel as such should be extremely careful and should watch out for any potential situation involving security. It is always better to anticipate and take preventive measures well in advance. Prevention and avoidance of security risks is paramount. Since a Field Officer operates from his residence, he receives a number of visitors at his home. His residence, as such becomes accessible to strangers. Below are some guidelines which may help avoid a possible security related situation in the field as well at home. (1.1) In the Field: a. Park your car off the streets at night and, if possible, keep it in a locked garage. b. Always lock your car, even when parked in a garage. Always engage the steering lock when the car is parked. c. When approaching your car, be attentive to any signs indicating it could have been tampered with (doors, windows, hood, trunk, wheels, etc.) d. Keep windows up and doors locked from the inside. e. Know your city well f. Avoid civil disturbances and crowds. g. Do not give lifts to strangers h. If you have a driver, do not distract him with conversation. i. Stay alert and know what is going around you. Do not read or be excessively engrossed in your thoughts enrooted. j. Keep the volume of the stereo down k. To the extent possible, avoid routine in the routing and timing of your movements to and from work and in the field. l. If possible, drive through well-illuminated and much-used routes. m. When you must stop due to traffic conditions, try to leave yourself space for maneuverability. n. If you believe you are being followed by another car, do not drive into your driveway or park in a deserted area. Try to drive to the nearest place where you can get help, such as a police station, fire station, etc. and call peoples attention by sounding the horn.

c. Avoid carrying sensitive company documents or any document that could be construed by hostile eyes as government documents or intelligence material. If there are sensitive papers vital to your trip, consider mailing them to your destination. d. Always inform your office and host of your travel plans and report promptly any deviation from your initial plan. e. Reduce to a minimum your presence in those airport sections which are open to the general public. While in those areas be vigilant and alert. Report immediately to airport staff anyone or anything which looks suspicious. f. Try to travel light. This will reduce exposure at the check-in counter which is open to the general public. g. Register well in advance of the regular minimum deadline time and proceed as quickly as possible to the departure lounge area which is the airports secure zone. h. Seek non-stop carriers to your destination. i. Avoid airlines which represent countries identified by terrorists as likely targets. (3.2) Suggested Behavioral Habits a. In any hijack situation, it pays to be inconspicuous. b. Do your best to control your emotions. Fear of the unknown, apprehension and concern for the uncertainty of events are to be expected. Prepare yourself to cope with them. c. Try not to be consumed by worry for your family. Have confidence that a positive, supportive effort will be made to keep your family posted and assisted. d. Be judicious in your consumption of food and beverage. The opportunity to take care of normal bodily functions is known to be severely restricted in the early stages of hijack episodes. e. It is important that you promptly try to do what your captors insist on in order not to make your ordeal any worse than it already is. f. When the opportunity presents itself, do your best to show your captors that you are a caring human being, not the stereotype they think you are. g. When your captors ask you questions, try to answer as simply and directly as possible. This is not the time to play games, and its not the time to talk too much either. h. Control any temptation to act as a negotiator. There is little reason to think such an effort has much chance of succeeding. You just risk complicating the situation further. i. Fight temptation to embark upon a heroic adventure without clear evidence that such a plan can succeed. To further endanger yourself and others as the result of an unsuccessful attempt is foolhardy. j. If shooting starts or an explosion occurs hit the ground and maintain the lowest possible profile and stay that way until the rescue force gives you instructions on what they want you to do. Expect blinding flashes of light and frightening

Section C: Business Ethics (1) Policy Statement on Business Ethics

The policy DHFL, as stated over the years by the Board of Directors, is one of strict observance of all laws applicable to its business. Our policy does not stop there. Even where the law is permissive, DHFL chooses the course of the highest integrity. Local customs, traditions and modes differ from place to place, and this must be recognized. But honesty is never subject to criticism in any culture. Shades of dishonesty simply invite demoralizing and reprehensible judgments. A wellfounded reputation for scrupulous dealings is itself a priceless company asset. An overly ambitious employee might have the mistaken idea that we do not care how results are obtained, as long as he gets results. He might think it best not to tell higher management all that he is doing, not to record all transactions accurately in his books and records, and to deceive the Companys internal and external auditors. He would be wrong on all accounts. We do care how we get results. We expect compliance with our standards of integrity throughout the organization. We will not tolerate an employee who achieves results at the cost of violation of laws or unscrupulous dealing. By the same token, we will support and we expect you to support an employee who passes up an opportunity or advantage which can only be secured at the sacrifice of principle. Equally important, we expect candor from managers at all levels and compliance with accounting rules and controls. We do not want liars for managers, whether they are lying in a mistaken effort to protect us or make themselves look good. One of the kinds of harm which results when a manager conceals information from higher management and the auditors is that subordinates within his organization think that they are being given a signal that company policies and rules, including accounting and control rules, can be ignored whenever inconvenient. This can result in corruption and demoralization of an organization. Our system of management will not work without honesty, including honest book keeping, honest budget proposals, and honest economic evaluation of projects. It has been, and continues to be DH Fertilizers Limited policy that all transactions shall be accurately reflected in its books and records, and any off-the-record bank accounts are strictly prohibited. This policy is in accord with the previously stated policies of DH Fertilizers Limited.

It is considered to be in conflict with the Companys interest if: a.

The DH representative checks the payment instrument for correctness of the amount, wording of the companys name and make sure that the instrument is drawn on Lahore. The DMM/ TECH then prepares Manual Customer Order (Annexure 8.1-1) by inserting all relevant details of payment instrument, order and Dealer s preferences. This customer order has four copies as below: i) DM Warehouse copy ii) Customer acknowledgement copy iii) Sales Accounting copy iv) Regional office copy/ plant Copy b.

Upon receipt of customer order Sales Assistant inserts the data on payment instrument and other relevant detail in SALES SYSTEM. Once the payment is entered the amount will be credited into the BAs account. Sales Assistant then logs the customer order. This entry is considered as evidence for the review of customer accounts. SALES SYSTEM will retrieve customer order detail from Payment information screen and update the Dealer Account Balance appearing in Customer Order Screen. Hence forth, the Dealer s account balance will be updated on entry of every new payment and becomes the basis of payment for product ordered from all supply sources, by the respective Dealer. Both the manual customer orders as well

Handling of Consignment Shipments

Scope: The procedure is basically developed to entertain the needs of customers, who at times fail to service the end consumers due non availability of product at their outlets. It is sort of an arrangement between the customers and Company by which the Company may ship the product as consignment on prevailing price to facilitate them to address the need of end consumers. However, at any date as given by the company, if the customer does fail to sell the product then he has the option either to return the product to company or get this invoiced at prevailing price. This procedure of consignment is envisaged both warehouses and plant shipments and is applicable to all products on need basis as and when approved by Marketing Manager. Transaction is allowed against a Bank DD. Procedure:
a.
Ex- warehouse consignments i) ii) Consignment shipment is made against DDs. Bank Guarantees are, however, not entertained in consignment shipments. This agreement is executed on stamp paper of Rs. 100/- or special adhesive stamps of same amount may also be used. The cost of special adhesive stamps is born by the company as we normally do in the Seller Buyer agreements. Agreement is signed by both customer and Companys authorized representative (DM Incharge, office assistants and RM, those who normally can sign the invoices) in the presence of two witnesses. To entertain such customers, warehouse Incharges record consignments transactions at warehouses in separate STRs and this is done by shifting the stocks from regular STRs to Consignment STRs. The record of all consignment agreements along with details of DDs is maintained at warehouse and DDs are kept as security deposit till products get invoiced. Acknowledgment of consignment shipments from customers is taken. All such consignment shipments are reported as sales, however, these shipments are reported separately by warehouse to Regional and Regional office to head office for record purpose. Bin cards are not updated against consignment shipments. Once price is given, all consignment shipments are invoiced and bin cards are updated.

Steps at Truckers end After delivering product at the Dealer outlet, the trucker takes the acknowledgment from the Dealer on PSAs and also get it stamped as he normally does in case of normal delivery and submit this to Plant and Karachi Port Distribution for billing purpose. Steps at B&S Plant and Karachi Port Distribution (once price is issued) Both Plants and Karachi B&S generate the PSAs report of consignment orders for their record. As soon as regions confirm the data entry on log of payments and updating the PSAs for pricing, both Plant and Karachi B&S once again generate the PSAs report to flag out if any PSAs pricing is not made. This will serve as double check in system and help to reconcile the data on shipment as well. If there seems any PSA/invoice without pricing then concerned region is informed and invoice get updated.

Handling of Rail Order

The quantum of rail shipments from the supply sources (plant, port) during any period (month) is decided by the Marketing Manager based upon which he allocates the number of rakes among the regions. Subsequent to this, the RMM/MM issues the intra regional allocation among the various sales districts/rail heads. The handling procedure for rail shipment differs from that of road shipment. The payment against the order placed through rail, is collected on the basis of Cash on Delivery instead of advance payment. Orders through rail as a mode of shipment are handled in two ways: a. RR (Railway Receipt) through Bank (held in abeyance, however procedure is defined) b. RR (Railway Receipt) through the concerned DMM/TMM/TM TECH (3.1) RR (Railway Receipt) through Bank: DM or concerned DH representative raises the rake order based on quantity demanded by the Dealer. The Customer Order is placed through Order Entry in SALES SYSTEM. In this case however no payment information is entered in the system before the generation of customer order. The following procedure is adopted for generation and handling of the rail order: a. During the input of the relevant data in manual Customer Order Entry screen of SALES SYSTEM, Rail is selected as the Delivery Mode. The DH representative is also required to specify highlight the Rail Head and the Bank through which the Dealer has desired to retire the RRs for the release of product. The exact address and code number of the bank branch is to be specified in the Remarks cell of the Order Entry screen.

The concerned DHFL representative generates customer order on SALES SYSTEM in triplicate. The DM then gets the signature and stamp of the Dealer on all the four three copies of the customer order. i) Warehouse/DM copy ii) Acknowledgement copy for the customer iii) Sales Accounting copy iv) Regional Office copy This customer order is then sent to Regional Office/HO where all relevant detail is entered into the SALES SYSTEM. The Sales Assistant at the concerned supply source retrieves Customer Order Log Sheet through the Product Handling System in SALES SYSTEM and places the demand for rake train (for the concerned destination/railhead) with the Pakistan Railways. On the arrival of empty rake train at the supply source, Sales Assistant, details the order through Detailing screen in Product Handling System of SALES SYSTEM. On the basis of detailed orders, Rail Shipment Plan Report is generated through B&S in SALES SYSTEM. This report contains the particulars on all order numbers, quantity, number of wagons detailed for shipment etc. The Rail Shipment Plan is then passed on to PM&S or the concerned Shipment Section. After the empty wagons are staged for loading, PH&S or the shipment section gets the loading done and generates the PSA/invoices through B&S in SALES SYSTEM. On completion of the loading, the Railway Receipts are issued by Pakistan Railways and are handed over to DH Distribution. A separate invoice is generated for each wagon on the basis of the detail given in Rail Shipment Plan Report. However, there can be a single RR against more than 01 wagon. PM&S or the shipment section then sends the PSA/Invoices to Plant Accounting in case of plant orders and SAG, in case of port orders. Plant Accounting or Sales Accounting matches the detail on PSA/invoices with the RRs sent in by the Distribution Section and generates promissory note and voucher against each RR through SALES SYSTEM. Set of the documents comprising original RRs, copy of the PSA, Promissory note and voucher is passed on to Banking Section, Lahore for forwarding to DH remitting bank. The Distribution section sends the detail on PSAs and RRs to the concerned Dealer and DMMs/TMMs/TMMs Tech/RMM/MM. If the Dealers account holding bank branch (specified in the Remarks cell of Customer Order) is of the remitting bank, then the bank sends the complete set of documents to the respective branch. If the Dealers account holding branch is of some other bank, then the branch of remitting bank at that sales point sends the documents to that non-remitting bank branch under a covering note.

Retirement of the RRs: If the rail shipment arrives at the destination Railhead after the arrival of the RRs at the respective bank branch, the concerned Dealer makes the payment covering the invoiced amount to the bank, retires the RRs from bank and gets the product released from the railways on the basis of RRs. In case if the rail shipment arrives before the original RRs are received by the respective bank branch, then the DM collects the Demand Draft covering the invoiced amount from the Dealer and gets the product released for the Dealer by signing the Railway Indemnity Bonds against the RRs on behalf of DH. The DM ensures that the concerned Dealer intimates the bank branch to return the RRs to the remitting bank on arrival in this case. In both of the above mentioned cases the grace period for the retirement of RRs is 10 days from the branch of remitting bank and 14 days from the branch of Nonremitting bank. This grace period is allowed for the transition of documents and starts on the date of the generation of promissory note. If the rail shipment arrives after the expiry of the grace period then the interest born by the Dealer can be claimed by the Dealer and reimbursed from the Company. The cost of interest charged by the bank as follows: a. Interest charged by the bank for first 20 days from the expiry of grace period at the rate of 39 paisa per Rs.1000/= of the amount invoiced. b. Interest charged by the bank for additional days to that of the above from the expiry of grace period at the rate of 41 paisa per Rs.1000/= of the amount invoiced. Note: In the above scenario, DMM/TMM/TMM TECH are advised to get the RRs retired from the bank, definitely within 45 days of the expiry of the grace period.
(3.3)
RR (Railway Receipt) through the concerned DM The first five steps of the procedure essentially remains unchanged except that remarks RRs through DM instead of the name of the bank need to be entered in Order screen at the time of order logging in SALES SYSTEM. After the loading of rake, the concerned Distribution Section forwards the PSA/invoices along with the original RRs to the DMM/TMM/TMM TECH. The DM hands over the RRs to the BA after the collection of DD covering the invoiced amount and gets the BAs acknowledgement on PSAs.

Base Marketing Allowance (MA) allowed and adjusted up front in each invoice (in abeyance) Special Marketing Allowance (SMA) allowed and adjusted up front in each invoice (in abeyance) Deferred Marketing Allowance (DMA) allowed and adjusted separately at end of a defined period (month) on the basis of volume lifted. Handling of Marketing Allowances: The need for marketing allowance is identified by the DM to work out the net price based on the assistance needed by Dealer to; a. Actively promote fertilizer usage by the farmers. b. Sell on credit to farmers to encourage greater usage. c. Match the pricing of the competitors. These considerations are reviewed by the RMM/MM who examines the situation from a regional perspective. He then develops a proposal for consideration of the MM. The MM accords approval through a serially controlled letter of pricing.

Deferred Marketing Allowance: a. If the MA is allowed in the form of Deferred Marketing Allowance, the Marketing Manager accords his formal approval through a serially controlled letter of pricing. The Admin assistant then logs into DMA Definition module in pricing screen of SALES SYSTEM. He then defines the different volume slabs against which the various DMA slabs are allowed per ton, as a part of pricing approved by the General Manager. DMAs allowed from separate sources of supply are to be entered in separate pricing in SALES SYSTEM. b. On completion of this transaction in SALES SYSTEM, the system generates another serial number known as SALES SYSTEM-DMA number assigned to the pricing allowed. c. At the end of DMA period, Admin Assistant selects the names of the BAs (qualifying for various DMA slabs against defined volumes lifted) through the system. This is done on the basis of DMA applicable to BA/sales point/sales district/region, defined for the specific supply source in step 2. Completion of this transaction in SALES SYSTEM in turn concludes the definition and claim of DMA. d. The last and final step is the final calculation of DMA and issuance of DMA note through system. On the completion of the DMA period, the Sales Accounting runs the DMA Calculation process through DMA Calculation module in pricing screen of SALES SYSTEM. The system automatically completes the DMA

Section 'I': Sales on Secured Credit (1) Bank Guarantee

(1.1) Objective:
The Company has made available the use of secured credit facility within a certain allocation/quota to Dealer s/buyers. This facility is extended to the Dealer /buyers in order to stimulate and promote sales volume. The main instruments of this credit are the Bank Guarantee (BG) and Letter of Credit (LC). A specimen of the standard reporting format is enclosed as Annexure 1-1 (1.2) Policy: Marketing Division authorizes the Marketing Deptt. to manage credit within a maximum limit during a specified time period. Marketing Division further allocates the credit limit (amount outstanding against quantity ordered at any point in time) to the regions. The regions ensure that the amount outstanding for quantity uplifted against BG/LC should not exceed their allocation at any point in time. Bank guarantees can be issued from any of the scheduled banks, which include HBL, UBL, ABL, MCB, BOP, BAF, ACB, and NBP. Additionally, Dealer may also issue BGs from any of DHs relationship banks, which include ABN AMRO, ANZ Grind lays, SCB, Citibank, Faisal Bank, and Bank of America.

The DMM/TMM/TMM TECH also checks for the credit due date of the BG which should not be less than six (06) working days ahead of the bank guarantee period allowed to the Dealer. Additionally, the BG is signed by; i) Two attorneys from the issuing bank, who are executing officers duly authorized by the bank to sign on the document. DMM/TMM/TMM TECH should ensure that their respective power of attorney numbers are explicitly mentioned with the signatures. In case of a single attorney branch, the document still needs to be signed by two officers of the branch. ii) Two male witnesses with a note of their respective NIC numbers (NADRA issued) and addresses. One of the witnesses is preferred to be an DHFL employee. The DMM/ will ensure that any corrections/modifications/cancellations in the text of the bank guarantee must be accompanied by the bank stamp and the initials of the bank executing officer. The DMM/ may send the BG along with a written request for verification to the Zonal/Regional office of the issuing bank or to the Regional office for arranging verification. Upon receipt of the original BG document from the DMM/, DH Regional office seeks independent verification of the issuance of this BG document from the Zonal/Regional office of the issuing bank branch through fax or letter. Upon receipt of authentication through a verification letter from the Zonal/Regional office of the issuing bank. Sales Accounting, will calculate the last shipment date falling within the BG expiry period. This will also be automatically calculated by SALES SYSTEM on entry of the BG data in the system. In case the credit period is for 90 days then the expiry date of BG must be thirty one (31) days ahead of the last shipment date; In case the credit period is for 120 days then the expiry date of the BG must be one hundred thirty (130) days ahead of the last shipment date, else SALES SYSTEM will not accept the data in BG detail field. All other particulars of BG are then logged into Dealer Bank Guarantee detail screen of SALES SYSTEM by Sales Accounting. The DMM/, while filling out the Customer Order form manually, ensures that the sales quantity does not exceed the amount allowed in the BG as calculated on the basis of the applicable price of product, enhanced by the applicable amount on account of bank guarantee charges. The DMM/ TECH/warehouse in charge makes a note of the BG no., SALES SYSTEM no., and date of issue, amount, and issuing bank name on the customer order form. In case of plant shipment DMM/ send the customer order to the regional office.

Checking Warehouse Invoices by DM

For all warehouse sales, DH requires that the DMM/ preferably generates the customer order and based on all the data in the customer order, the warehouse assistant should then generate the sales invoice. This segregation of duties are necessary for effective alternate controls. It is recognized however, that the DMM/ cannot always prepare the customer orders since they are away from the warehouse location on tour. In addition to that Customer order is a

system generated document and at the time of data entry into the SALES SYSTEM, all errors are identified instantly. Consequently, the warehouse assistant prepares both the customer order and the sales invoice. However, it is still the responsibility of the DMM/ to ensure correct data input of the customer order and the sales invoice as they pertain to customers name, address, pricing applicable and other terms. Therefore, at least once a week in peak season and fortnightly in slack season, the DMM/ must visit the warehouse and check all the system generated copies of customer orders which were prepared by the warehouse assistant during the preceding period and also check the corresponding invoices for their correctness. RMMs/MM should check and verify that this procedure is being followed whenever they visit warehouses both on planned and surprise visits. RMMs/MM should make unplanned/surprise visits to warehouses from time to time to check this, check stocks and other operational matters. Managers/Section heads/Distribution officer warehousing and audit personnel from Head Office, when visiting warehouses on a planned or surprise basis, are also required to check that these procedures are being followed.
(3)
Disclosure of Possible Future Allowances

SALES SYSTEM clearly ensures that all allowances given to our Dealer or other customers, be fully reflected on all invoices according to DHs disclosure policy. This applies to correct statement of the net price payable, the freight and marketing allowances if applicable, and any other allowance that may be authorized from time to time. If a marketing allowance (MA) has been authorized, it sometimes becomes necessary for marketing reasons to break this into a base MA plus a deferred MA. The deferred MA is paid at the end of the contracted period to ensure that the Dealer in question fulfils his volume deal/commitment or his time/volume commitment. In all such cases, the system generated copies of the invoices must bear the notation Marketing Allowance subject to adjustment if any. This notation must appear on all three copies of the invoice. All invoicing locations must therefore always have a legible, clear rubber stamp saying Marketing Allowance subject to adjustment if any. These instructions apply across the board to all invoicing locations i.e. field warehouses, plant accounting for all DH manufactured products orders and Lahore Accounting for imported fertilizers, and for all other purchased products i.e. phosphates, potash when such products are shipped from Karachi/Bin Qasim port.

This designation is to be used when the document contains proprietary operating, financial or Technical information intended for the Companys use. In general, a document with this designation will contain valuable data or information not otherwise available to competitors or other outside interests. This designation should only be used if loss or unauthorized disclosure would be detrimental to the Companys best interests. Access to this type of information should be on a need-to-know basis. By way of examples, but not by way of limitation, this classification would normally be considered appropriate to documents or other written or graphic material containing the following types of information: i) New business ventures or investments, extensions of existing business activities into new areas, and plans for disinvestment and disengagement from existing activities or areas ii) Assessments of the companys competitive position and data which would enable a competitor to make such an assessment iii) Commercial data or Technical information not otherwise available to competitors or other outside interests iv) Earnings statement prior to public release and, financial forecasts v) Exploration data vi) Negotiation strategies and limits vii) Data which indicate the direction magnitude or results of research activities viii) Inventions not yet protected by patents ix) Un-patentable designs and construction Techniques not generally available to the industry or engineering profession. Special Handling: The importance, sensitivity and timeliness of certain of the companys proprietary documents, as measured by the consequences of their unauthorized disclosure, may require that they have a very restricted distribution. In such cases, persons responsible for classification of proprietary documents will add the designation Special Handling to the documents. Distribution will be made on a controlled basis as determined by the office of origin. b. DHFL This designation is to be applied when the contents relate to personal information rather than the Companys operating, financial or Technical information. It primarily pertains to data going from one person to another which refers to one or more third person(s). As implied by the term PRIVATE, it is aimed at preserving the confidentiality of personal information, and is not intended to inhibit a manager or supervisor from discussing these matters with a subordinate. This classification should be applied to: i) Personnel records

Employee status alone does not confer a right to all categories of information. b. Externally DHFL Classified information shall not be released to persons outside the company except on approval of the originator of the document or of the information contained therein, or by a more senior executive, and only after a determination has been made that such a release will serve the best interests of the company.
