<h1>Section 541: Officers face up to 1-year imprisonment for failing to maintain proper company accounts under Companies Act, 1956.</h1> Section 541 of the Companies Act, 1956 addresses liability for failing to maintain proper accounts. If an application is made to the Tribunal under sections 397 or 398 and it is shown that a company did not maintain proper books of account for the two years preceding the application, or since incorporation, any defaulting officer may face up to one year of imprisonment unless they prove their actions were honest and excusable. Proper books must detail daily cash transactions and, if applicable, include annual stock statements and records of goods transactions to identify buyers and sellers.
