Explanation

Section 15D lists carrying on without registration, breaching registration terms, failing to apply for listing, failing to despatch unit certificates, failing to refund application monies, and failing to invest money as specified. Daily NAV website disclosure is not a listed default there; it is governed by the Mutual Funds Regulations and falls under other penalty provisions. The other three options appear in clauses (c), (d) and (e).
