The service charge imposed under subsection (1) shall be paid to the Director General, who shall maintain proper records of all such payments received by him and shall credit all monies collected to the Fund.

Every person who fails to pay the service charge required to be paid by such person under this section shall be guilty of an offence under this Act and on conviction be liable, in addition to any other punishment that shall be imposed by court, to a suspension or cancellation, as the case may be, of any licence or licences issued to that person under this Act, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any other provisions of this Act.
