Responsibility for filing particulars for registration of charge:
It shall be the duty of a company to file with the Registrar, for registration, the particulars of every charge created by the company, and of every issue of debentures of a series, requiring registration under Part V of the Companies Act. Particulars for registration of any charge may also be filed by any person interested therein. In this connection, it may be noted that section 134(2) provides that where registration is affected on the application of some person other than the company, that person shall be entitled to recover from the company, the amount of any fees properly paid by him to the Registrar.
