Clause 9

On receiving the statement referred to in section 6, the Registrar shall, subject to the provisions of this Act, cause the same, upon payment of the prescribed fee, to be entered in the register.

The Registrar shall, after the registration of a person in accordance with the provisions of subsection (1), issue and send by post or deliver a certificate of registration to that person and the certificate or a certified copy thereof shall be exhibited in a conspicuous place at the principal place of business of such person referred to therein and at every other place where such person carries on business.

A certificate of registration issued under the provisions of this section shall be valid for a period of one year from the date of issue and shall, subject to the provisions of this Act and upon payment of the prescribed fee, be renewed from year to year thereafter.

On receiving an application for the renewal of a certificate of registration, the Registrar may require additional particulars or other information and may refuse to renew the certificate of registration if he is not furnished with such particulars or information.

Nothing contained in this section shall be construed to require the Registrar to register any person or renew any certificate of registration if he is not satisfied with the particulars or other information furnished under the provisions of this Act.

The issue of a certificate of registration to any person shall not be deemed to imply that the requirements of any law in relation to any business carried on by such person, or to the persons carrying on the same or employed therein, has been complied with.
