Rohan Bansal, a member of the Institute who is not in practice, is employed in a company's secretarial department. He wants to know whether he must use the designation Company Secretary. Which statement is correct under the Act?

He may use it but need not. The Act makes the designation compulsory for members in practice, while any other member may use it. Rohan, not being in practice, therefore has a choice and needs no Council permission.

  1. AHe must use it, as all members must
  2. BHe may use it, as a member not in practice is allowed but not compelled to use itCorrect
  3. CHe cannot use it, as only members in practice may
  4. DHe may use it only after obtaining Council permission

Explanation

Section 7 provides that every member in practice shall, and any other member may, use the designation Company Secretary. Rohan is another member, so use is optional. Option A confuses him with a member in practice.
