  1.      It shall be the duty
  
  of every company creating a charge within or outside India, on its property or
  
  assets or any of its undertakings, whether tangible or otherwise, and situated
  
  in or outside India, to register the particulars of the charge signed by the
  
  company and the charge-holder together with the instruments, if any, creating
  
  such charge in such form, on payment of such fees and in such manner as may be
  
  prescribed, with the Registrar within thirty days of its creation:
  Provided
  
  that the Registrar may, on an application by the company, allow such
  
  registration to be made within a period of three hundred days of such creation
  
  on payment of such additional fees as may be prescribed:
  Provided
  
  further that if registration is not made within a period of three hundred days
  
  of such creation, the company shall seek extension of time in accordance with
  
  section 87:
  Provided
  
  also that any subsequent registration of a charge shall not prejudice any right
  
  acquired in respect of any property before the charge is actually registered.
  1.     
  2.      Where a charge is
  
  registered with the Registrar under sub-section (1 ), he shall issue a
  
  certificate of registration of such charge in such form and in such manner as
  
  may be prescribed to the company and, as the case may be, to the person in
  
  whose favour the charge is created.
  3.      Notwithstanding
  
  anything contained in any other law for the time being in force, no charge
  
  created by a company shall be taken into account by the liquidator or any other
  
  creditor unless it is duly registered under sub-section (1 ) and a
  
  certificate of registration of such charge is given by the Registrar under
  
  sub-section (2 ).
  4.      Nothing in
  
  sub-section (3 ) shall prejudice any contract or obligation for the
  
  repayment of the money secured by a charge.
