Sec 129 -
Particulars in case of commission, etc., on debentures.
Where any commission, allowance or discount has been paid or
made either directly or indirectly by a company to any person in consideration
of his subscribing or agreeing to subscribe, whether absolutely or
conditionally, for any debentures of the company, or procuring or agreeing to
procure subscriptions, whether absolute or conditional, for any such
debentures, the particulars required to be filed for registration under
sections 125 and 128 shall include particulars as to the amount or rate per
cent of the commission, discount or allowance so paid or made ; but an omission
to do this shall not affect the validity of the debentures issued :
Provided that the deposit of any debentures as security
for any debt of the company shall not, for the purposes of this section, be
treated as the issue of the debentures at a discount.
