15 November 2013 In our client company a company secretary has been appointed from 01.02.2012 to 11.01.2013.
Company paid up capital is more than 2 crore but less than 5 crore. Do we still have to file Compliance Certificate of the financial 2012-13.

15 November 2013 As on 31 march 2013 your company have less than 5 crores so it is not mandatory to have whole time CS.

So you file Compliance certificate for 2012-13.
