Here is the information I have gleaned from the AMSAT-India website:

Mode U/V (Mode B) uplink
20KHz linear transponder 1W output
Uplink  435.800 CW/SSB
Downlink        145.800 CW/SSB

Beacon: 145.800 CW/FM

 From what I can glean from AMSAT-India website [ 
http://www.amsat-india.org ] the launch using PSLV to put the satellite 
into a sun-synchronous polar orbit.  More info on PSLV can be found in the 
ISRO website [ http://www.isro.org/pslv.htm ]
