It is a crime under Indian penal code. Section 409 can be attracted irrespective of the fact that you have returned. The punishment depends on the evidences and other factors. In criminal cases one can not say what punishment will be inflicted by the court in any particular case.

Dear one, when you repaid the amount with penalty you forged with company then for what company will file any suit against you. When you repaid the amount, you made any agreement or memorandum with company or not. Don't worry there is very lesser chance, company will file a suit on you, if do so , consultant a lawyer at that time. Now relax.

Thats criminal breach of trust. Punishment is for 7 years and fine. Its a non bailable offence. Once you have paid money back to the Company. Company still can file the complaint against you. Then yes you have fair/good chance of acquittal that I can assure you.
