  1. ROC, Gujarat penalizes a Small company & its Directors for violation of Sec. 12(3)(c) of the Companies Act, by failing to mention the CIN and registered office address on its letterhead.

 

  1. ROC noted that the company had mentioned the said details on some letter heads attached with some forms, while it was missing in others, and hence, there was an occasional failure to comply with Sec. 12(3)(c) provisions;
  2. Remarking that although it was so, there was violation of the provisions and hence, the company and officers in default were liable for a penalty under the Companies Act;
