24 February 2014 Dear Priyam,

There can be two instances by the virtue of which a person can hold COP in full time employment:-

1)The person can hold cop in a wrongful manner and thus not eligible for COP.

2) There is concept called partial COP which an individual can hold while being in employment, but it has limited scope and restriction.

Thus a person in whole time employment cannot appointed as an auditor u/s 224(1B)

24 February 2014 Dear Priyam,

The term Whole Time Employment is a general term and hence not defined in the Companies Act,1956.

Whereas in general parlance one can say that, a person will be in Whole Time Employment where his Income is chargeable U/S 192 of the Income Tax Act.
