Probably, this forum cannot advise authoritatively on the matter. You may consider taking a 2nd opinion or talking to other industries in the locality.

While obtaining PTEC you should mention the details of the directors as well.
As you have separate PTRC are you deducting the PT amount from the directors & remitting the same? if so then you can submit the proof & close it.
You can't ignore any Show cause notices from any of the government authorities & the penalty for non submission of PT returns is Rs. 1000/- per year
Authorities have right to attach the notices to Bank & they can freeze bank account & can take proceedings by court as well
