<h1>Registrar powers u/s 206 to demand company records, order inquiries, and trigger fraud penalties u/s 447</h1> Section 206 of the Companies Act, 2013 empowers the Registrar to seek information, explanations, or documents from a company by written notice and obliges the company and its officers, including past officers where relevant, to comply within specified time. If responses are absent, inadequate, or reveal an unsatisfactory state of affairs, the Registrar may require further books and papers for inspection, with recorded reasons. Where business appears fraudulent, unlawful, non-compliant, or investor grievances remain unaddressed, the Registrar may order an inquiry after hearing the company, and officers in default may be punishable for fraud under section 447. The Central Government may direct or authorize inspections, and non-compliance attracts monetary penalties on the company and defaulting officers.
