    What is to be done in case a Company has lost all its statutory registers? Will the Company and its Officers-in-default will be liable in above situation?

    That is the best article for company law. The Company Registration Services are the best. Because the Company Registration Services company provides the Registration Services to the new company. The Registers, if accepted by Directors, Members, Creditors and by added bodies on transaction of defined fees.
