Hi Deep,
Since the company is listed , it must be having a whole time company secretary. And if the Company has a whole time Company secretary, there is no need to file compliance cetificate u/s 383A.
Please go thru the text of Companies (Appointment and Qualifications of Secretary) Amendment Rules, 2009 which provides that:
1. Every Company having a paid up capital of 5 crore or more must have a whole time company secretary
2. A company having a paid up share capital of two crore rupees or more but less than five crore rupees may appoint any individual who is a member of the Institute of Company Secretaries of India as a whole-time secretary to perform the duties of a secretary under the Companies Act, 1956.
Further, where a company has appointed a whole-time company secretary, possessing the qualification of membership of the Institute of Company Secretaries of India, such a company is not required to obtain a certificate from a secretary in whole-time practice under rule 3 of the Companies (Compliance Certificate) Rules, 2001
