For certain companies, it is mandatory to appoint a whole-time Company Secretary (CS) on a payroll basis. According to the Companies Act, 2013, listed companies, large public companies, and certain other prescribed categories must appoint a whole-time CS. A whole-time CS is responsible for ensuring compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, maintaining corporate governance, and assisting the board in fulfilling its obligations. The CS must be on the payroll, ensuring dedicated attention to the company’s legal and compliance matters. Smaller companies may not require a whole-time CS, but they must appoint one if applicable depending on their size and nature. In short, the requirement to appoint a CS varies from businesses to businesses as per their nature and size.
