The petitioner company had applied for a scheme of amalgamation between Turbotech Constructions Private Limited (Transferor Company) and Parasakti Cements Industries Limited (Transferee Company). The Regional Director raised a query regarding the non-appointment of a Company Secretary in Turbotech Constructions Private Limited. In response, the Transferor Company filed an application for adjudication of the violation of Section 203(1) of the Companies Act, 2013.

It is stated that Turbotech Constructions Private Limited failed to appoint a Whole Time Company Secretary within the required timeframe of six months, as per the provisions of Section 203(1) of the Act. The company eventually appointed a Whole Time Company Secretary with a delay of 140 days. This delay resulted in a violation of Section 203(1) and rendered the company and its officers liable under Section 203(5).

The order imposes penalties on the company and its officers in default. The Transferee Company, Parasakti Cement Industries Limited, is directed to pay a penalty of Rs. 5,70,000 for the violation. Additionally, each director of Turbotech Constructions Private Limited, Mr. Vijay Kumar Boppana and Mr. Dharma Reddy Gujjula, is directed to pay a penalty of Rs. 1,20,000. The total penalty imposed amounts to Rs. 8,10,000.

The order instructs the defaulters to pay the penalties within 30 days and file e-Form INC-28 with the Registrar of Companies, Hyderabad, along with proof of payment.

Please note Section 203(1) of the Companies Act, 2013, states that every company having a paid-up share capital of a certain threshold (as prescribed by the Act) must appoint a Whole Time Company Secretary, who is a member of the Institute of Company Secretaries of India (ICSI), to perform the duties and responsibilities specified in the Act. This provision emphasizes the importance of having a qualified professional to ensure compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, maintain proper records, and facilitate effective corporate governance within the company.
