Your good self may kindly be aware that the Institute of Company Secretaries of India (ICSI) is a statutory body constituted under an Act of Parliament, i.e. the Company Secretaries Act, 1980 to regulate and develop the profession of Company Secretaries. The Institute functions under the .jurisdiction of Ministry of Corporate Affairs, Government of India. It has nationwide presence with its headquarters at New Delhi, 4 Regional offices and 73 Chapters spread all over India. The ICSI has on its rolls around 60,000 members and more than 3 Lakhs students pursuing the Company Secretaryship Course across the country. A Company Secretary is governed by the Code of Conduct contained in the Company Secretaries Act, 1980 and is, therefore, subject to disciplinary jurisdiction of the Institute.
