Kai Klaas said:

400R at 12V means a relay current of 30mA. To reliably turn-on the involved transistor a base current of 1/10 the collector current is needed.
Kai

just tried to analyze the circuit...

I could not sort out the amount of voltage drop accross the 10K connected between B-E of BC 556 (assuming emitter current = 10mA). Also unable to calculate the voltage drops in the 1K2 resistors.
Could you help me sort it out?

Suresh.
