Thank you, #Preaveen446. Can you please share the section/rule which addresses the above penalty?

Please refer to Section 95 of the Factories Act.

As per Section 92, imprisonment for a term which may extend to two years or with a fine which may extend to one lakh rupees or with both. So, is this the correct answer to the penalty for not maintaining the register?

The amount of penalty is decided by the authority. They will not directly put individuals into imprisonment.
