Section 203 t : Com an shall have KMP
(A) Every USTED company or
(B) Every other PUBLIC company having PUSC ~ ~ 1O crores
shall have the following whole-time key managerial personnel,-
( t) Managing Director, or Chief Executive Officer or manager and in their absence, a whole-time director
[MD/CEO/M or WTD];
(2) Company Secretary [CS]; An.d
(3) Chief Financial Officer [CFO].
As the term used is 'whole time', therefore, 3 different individuals are required to hold these 3 key
· ·ons.
CoDClualon
As the t~rrn used is 'whole time', therefore, 3 different individuals are required to hold these 3 key positions.
ln view of the above, the company cannot appoint Mr. X as the Company Secretary of the company in
addition to his CFO post. Further, Section 203 of the Act specifically prescribes the word "and" between
Company Secretary and CFO. Thus, both the positions are to be held by separate persons.
ence, the ro osal of the com an to a oint Mr. X as the Com an Secret is not valid.
