The e-form in which additional information is to be furnished by the company is GNL-4. In the case, where further information called for has not been provided or has been furnished partially or defects or incompleteness is not rectified or rectified partially within the period allowed, the Registrar shall either reject or treat the application or e-form or document as invalid. Consequently, the document may be rectified by the person or company only by fresh filing along with payment of fee and additional fee as applicable at the time of fresh filing without prejudice to any other liability under the Act.
