Which action constitutes an offence: making a false entry in a register required to be kept under this Act?

• A. Making a false entry in a register
• B. Making a true entry
• C. Keeping the register with no entries
• D. Registering late

Answer: (A)

The important idea here is honesty in official records. The Act requires the register to reflect accurate information, so deliberately making a false entry undermines accountability and can mislead authorities. That deliberate falsification is treated as a crime under the law. The other actions describe truthful reporting, or situations that are non-compliant but not the specific act of falsifying a record. So the action that constitutes an offence is making a false entry in the register.
