Delay in filing INC-20A beyond a year

Dear professional colleagues,

A private limited company incorporated in February 2021 has not filed Form INC-20A yet. As per my understanding, the penalty (besides the additional fees) is 50K for the company and 1 Lakh for director.

The company does not have bank account and business is not being carried out. Company does not own any assets.

If I file INC-20A now, will the penalty be imposed? Company is presently in Active status for e-filing as per MCA master data.

Thank you very much for your time,
Chandan
