If default is made, the company shall be punishable with penalty which may extent upto ₹10,000 and every officer in default pay a penalty of ₹ 5,000 for each day of default . This provision is added so that a company may not mislead the public by showing grand figure of Authorised Capital but having very little Paid- up Capital.
