The company secretary specializes in corporate and security laws and acts as a bridge between the company and its board of directors, shareholders and government and regulatory authorities. The company secretary is the person who is constantly overseeing things for the betterment of the company. While he is a corporate sponsor, he is also the strategic manager of the company. He is also a very trustworthy and obedient officer of the company. Simply put, this person is the External Affairs Monitor of the company. Under the Companies Act, Security Act and Exim Policy, only the Company Secretary has the authority to issue certificates.

The role of the company secretary has been further enhanced in the new company bill passed by the parliament last year. According to the new provisions, apart from large companies, small/medium enterprises and proprietary firms have also been required to consult the company secretary. Given this, there are bright employment opportunities from this sector. If you are attracted to a government job, then after gaining the membership of the institute, you can also get an appointment in higher positions of the central government.

Nowadays, just like the IT sector is booming, there are boundless employment opportunities for you. By the way, a placement service cell has also been set up on behalf of the institute, where you will not have to wait long to get employment. After getting an appointment for the post of a company secretary, the starting salary is between Rs. 7 to 10 lakhs per annum.
