Dear Friend

A company secretary appointed in a company as whole time employee and Form-32 of such CS is filed with ROC. As per my knowledge a person can not be appoint as CS in more than one company. Yes, the can handle group companies along with the company in which he is director but can not appoint in such company.

Agree with the view of Mr. Ajay.

He can be appointed as company secretary in only 1 Company.

Upto my understanding; Any CS can not hold position of CS in more than one company. But, he can provide his service to other company of the group. One CS can become Director (Indepndent) in any other company and can provide his cunsultancy services to any other company provided his company (in which he is in whole time employment) permits for the same. Others views solicited, Regards,
