Frequently Asked Questions

Every listed company and every public company with a paid-up share capital of Rs. 10 crore or more is required to have a whole-time MD/CEO, Company Secretary, and CFO. Private companies are not mandatorily required to have whole-time KMPs under Section 203, though they may choose to appoint them.
Form MR-1 must be filed with the ROC within 60 days of the appointment of the KMP. Late filing attracts additional fees.
An individual can hold only one KMP position at a time in the same company. However, the same person may be appointed as Managing Director and CEO in certain situations as permitted by the Act.
A newly appointed KMP must provide a declaration of non-disqualification and a disclosure of their interests in other entities (Form MBP-1) at the first board meeting after appointment.
