Please guide me about the salary structure for Company Secretary after having 4-5 years of experience in same organisation.

My salary is too low here. So, I am looking to move to some other organisation. Please give me some tips

25 July 2012 For a fresher CS salary goes approx. Rs. 25,000 P.M. but if market is bad as now a days its Rs. 20,000 P.M.
And after 4-5 years u can easily get Rs. 50-60,000 P.M. in any company.
Salary in firms is bit lower than in Companies.

is it mandatory to have LLB degree to get hike upto 50- 60,000 pm.

As, my boss stick on one point that u don't have LLB degree

22 July 2025 About the LLB degree — it is not mandatory to have an LLB to become a Company Secretary or to get a salary hike to Rs. 50K–60K per month.

The key points companies usually look for are:

Professional qualification (CS by ICSI)

Relevant experience (4-5 years in your case)

Expertise in compliance, corporate laws, secretarial practices

Soft skills and ability to handle responsibilities

Having an LLB may be a plus, especially for legal-heavy roles, but many successful CS professionals don’t have one and still command good salaries.

Tips for salary negotiation or job search:

Highlight your CS qualification and practical experience.

Showcase your accomplishments — like compliances handled, any cost/time savings, or process improvements.

Try to learn some basics of corporate law to add to your value (even if you don’t have an LLB).

Look for companies where CS is a critical role, preferably larger companies or ones with complex compliance requirements.

Networking via ICSI chapters or LinkedIn can help find better opportunities.
