India, the company may keep the books of accounts relating to the branch at that
branch office. But the proper summarized returns must be sent to the registered
office at an internal of not more than three months.
4. Maintenance of books in Electronic Form: The books of account and other relevant
papers may be kept in electronic mode in such manner as may be prescribed. These
have been prescribed under Rule 3 of the Companies (Accounts) rules, 2014.

of account is that of the:

(b) Whole-time director in charge of finance
(c) Chief Financial Officer or
(d) Any other person of a company charged by the Board with such duty.
If these persons contravene the provisions in this regard, then they shall be punishable
as under:
(a) With imprisonment up to one year; or
