25 September 2013 1. It is true that section 383A now does not find place in Companies Act 2013 but the same has been replaced by Secretarial Audit u/s 204 of the new Act. As per the draft rules released in this regard, Secretarial Audit is proposed to be made mandatory for all listed companies and companies having paid up share capital of Rs. 100 crore or more.

2. As per the new Act and draft rules, appointment of KMP including Company Secretary is mandatory for all listed companies and companies having a paid up share capital of Rs. 5 crores or more.
