This discussion addresses whether a professional holding both Chartered Accountant (CA) and Company Secretary (CS) Certificates of Practice (COP) can offer services typically rendered by a practicing CS. The consensus is that holding dual Certificates of Practice is not permitted and offering such services would be considered professional misconduct under the CS Act.

Is it possible for the person who's CA & CS both(have obtained COP from ICAI) & also offering some sort of services(prescribed u/s 2(2) of CS Act) which may be rendered by CS in practice, So will it be treated as professional misconduct(as it's deemed to be in CS Practice) or not?
