Companies Act, 2013
78.
Application
for registration of charge.
Where
a company fails to register the charge within the period specified in section
77, without prejudice to its liability in respect of any offence under this
Chapter, the person in whose favour the charge is created may apply to the
Registrar for registration of the charge along with the instrument created for
the charge, within such time and in such form and manner as may be prescribed
and the Registrar may, on such application, within a period of fourteen days
after giving notice to the company, unless the company itself registers the
charge or shows sufficient cause why such charge should not be registered,
allow such registration on payment of such fees, as may be prescribed:
Provided
that where registration is effected on application of the person in whose
favour the charge is created, that person shall be entitled to recover from the
company the amount of any fees or additional fees paid by him to the Registrar
for the purpose of registration of charge.
