Tanvi, a Pune-based chip designer, wants to inspect the register without travelling to the head office. The Central Government has notified, under the Act, that a copy of the register be kept at the Registry's branch offices. Which statement correctly reflects the Act?

Under Section 6(3), each branch office of the Registry keeps a copy of the register and other documents as the Central Government directs by notification in the Official Gazette. The original register stays at the head office, so branch offices do not hold independent registers.
