Dear Mr. Ramesh

In case of company having paid-up share capital of 5 crore or more shall have a whole tome company Secretary as per Rule 2(1) of the Companies (Appointment and Qualifications of Secretary) Rules, 1988 read with section 383A of the Companies Act, 1956.

Where the paid-up share capital of the company is increase to 5 crore or more , the company shall appoint a whole time company secretary within 1 year from the date of such increase as per proviso of the Rule 2(1).
But , the proviso of section 383A provide a liberty to the company for the appointment of CS on the basis of financial incapability.

So I will suggest you that you that you can take the benefits of proviso of section 383A of the Companies Act, 1956.

In case of listed public company, In a good corporate practice and it is mandatory to have/appoint a company secretary for the purpose of section 161, and 215 (1) of the Companies Act, 1956.
