Is Handling Registrar of Companies (ROC) Tasks Part of HR? Seeking Guidance

My boss asked me whether I am interested in doing Registrar of Companies (ROC) activities. He said it includes giving power of attorney and passing resolutions in board meetings of directors, etc. I would like to know whether this falls under HR or another function.

I hope you understand my question. Kindly provide me with guidance because I have never handled such activities before.

Dear Mandy,

The functions mentioned by you are performed by a Company Secretary, a qualified CS. The job comes under the Secretarial Department, requiring specific qualifications and experience.

Role of a Company Secretary

The work is related to a Company Secretary and involves many responsibilities, such as holding board meetings, recording meeting transactions, approving the company's balance sheet, and other secretarial matters. To handle this role, one should have a Certificate of Company Secretaryship, as it is a statutory position. You can only assist the company secretary, nothing more, as you will be considered a stranger in the eyes of the law. Working with the secretarial department will help you learn other facts and the functioning of the company.
