21 January 2013 Thanks Ajay ji thanks a lot.
Can a Asstt. Company Secreatry or the MD. of the company comply the formalities of Regulatory Authorities?

21 January 2013 Hi

Yes, he can do for a short duration, but where the mandatory provisions of Companies Act, 1956 or SEBI Regulation demand, then it is necessary to have whole time CS.

For temporary basis, the assistant CS can complete all formalities.
