Role you're checking
Company Secretary
Compliance & Governance
A Company Secretary (CS) is a member of the Institute of Company Secretaries of India (ICSI), recognised under the Companies Act 2013 as a Key Managerial Personnel for every company with paid-up capital above ₹10 Cr or turnover above ₹50 Cr. The CS is the corporate governance backbone — drafting board resolutions, filing ROC forms (MGT-7, AOC-4, DIR-12), running AGMs and board meetings, ensuring SEBI LODR compliance for listed clients, advising on Companies Act / SEBI / FEMA / Insolvency Code questions, and signing Secretarial Audit reports under Section 204. Despite the unfortunate name overlap, this is not a clerical secretary role — a senior CS at a listed company sits next to the CFO and General Counsel, and group company secretaries at large Indian conglomerates earn ₹50L-1Cr. The qualification has three stages — CSEET, CS Executive, CS Professional — plus 21 months of practical training under a senior CS.
