  • It provides all the necessary information about a company, its business, the management, financial structure, etc., of a company.
  • A prospectus must be prepared very carefully and accurately.
  • It should contain true and correct information and honest disclosure of facts.
  • A company and all those officials can be held responsible for any mis-statement in the prospectus.
  • These people have to face severe consequences.
  • The shareholder can cancel the contract.
  • Persons authorizing the issue of prospectus containing mis-statement are punishable with imprisonment of two years and a fine up to ₹ 5,000.
  • Thus, I agree with the above statement.
