Under Section 122(2) of the Patents Act, 1970, the penalty for furnishing false information is:

As amended by the Jan Vishwas (Amendment of Provisions) Act, 2023, section 122(2) makes a person who knowingly furnishes false information liable to a penalty of one-half per cent of the total sales or turnover of the business, or the gross receipts of the profession, "as computed in the audited accounts", or five crore rupees, "whichever is less". Imprisonment of up to six months, or fine, or both, was the punishment before that amendment.
