                       Registration Statement on Form F-3 (No. 333-81132)
                       Form RW--Application for Withdrawal
                       ---------------------------------------------------

Dear Ms. Bianchini:

      Pursuant to Rule 477(a) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, the Registrant hereby requests that its Registration Statement on Form
F-3 (Registration No. 333-81132), together with all exhibits thereto (the
"Registration Statement") be withdrawn at this time. The Registration Statement
was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on
January 22, 2002.

      Pursuant to the Registration Statement, the Registrant proposed to
register American depositary shares. The Registrant has determined not to issue
registered American depositary shares at this time. The Registration Statement
has not been declared effective by the staff of the Commission and no securities
were sold pursuant to such Registration Statement.

      Should you have any questions regarding this matter, please do not
hesitate to contact our counsel, Mr. Rajiv Khanna, at (212) 801-9268.

                                          Very truly yours,

                                          SILVERLINE TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED
