      A Rupees one lakh Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Rupees ten thousand Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Rupees five lakhs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Rupees fifty thousand Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E Rupees twenty-five thousand Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Section 21A(3) empowers the Board of Discipline, after affording the member an opportunity of being heard, to reprimand the member, remove his name from the Register for up to three months, or impose a fine which may extend to rupees one lakh. The Board follows a summary disposal procedure and deals with the less serious First Schedule misconduct. The five-lakh ceiling belongs to the Disciplinary Committee under Section 21B(3). The Board of Discipline's maximum fine is therefore rupees one lakh, making it correct.
