Madar explanation

What does the Article mean in plain language?

Make and revoke elections through NBR's prescribed process. Distinguish five-year elections, including stock compensation, hedging, realisation and currency, from annual elections requiring renewal for later years. Selecting an option in Madar does not file an election with NBR. Record type, scope, start and binding years and revocation effects, and check the specific Article for first-year or irrevocability provisions beyond the general lists.

Who should read this?

The filing entity and compliance, finance, legal and governance teams.

Practical action

Maintain an election register showing Article, entities, start and end year and approver.

Common mistake to avoid

Treating a tool selection as official filing or changing a multi-year election annually.

Limits of the commentary

Before relying on the result

Is this Article enough on its own?

Usually not. Read it with the connected Law Article, definitions, any effective election and current NBR guidance, especially for an amount or deadline.

Does NBR guidance replace the Regulations?

No. Guidance explains application and supports procedures and examples, but current legislation and decisions prevail in case of inconsistency.
