For an organization to operate efficiently, systematically and to comply with the statutory requirements, it is vital to maintain registers and records. Companies Act, 2013 requires every Company to prepare various statutory registers and other relevant documents and to keep such documents at the registered office of the Company or at such other place as may be notified. Therefore, we can say that non-maintenance of the mandatory registers and statutory records can give rise to penalties for a company. This penalty amount is to be paid by directors or any other officer in default.
