Recentely a new notification of companies act says that the limit of paid up capital for appoinemtent of a full time CS is raised from 2crores to 5 crores. In the text of notification, the last part reads as follows:
Provided that where a company has appointed under sub-rule (3) or this sub-rule, 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."
Does that mean that companies who now have whole time CS does not need to file form 66 (compliance certificate with RoC?
