Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. {'text': 'Re-open its books of account and recast its financial statements', 'label': 'D'}
1. Lesson 12 lists Section 130(1) in the Chapter IX (Accounts of Companies) row.
2. The entry reads: "The Tribunal may allow a company to **re-open its books of account and recast its financial statements**."
3. This power is exercised on application from the Central Government, the Income-tax authorities, SEBI, or any other regulator/statutory body or person concerned, and after considering the representations of the company.
4. Section 131(1) is the complementary provision allowing voluntary revision of financial statements for any of the three preceding financial years with NCLT approval.
