Yes, as per Rule 8, every listed company and a public company whose paid up capital is more than Rs 10Cr are required to appoint KMPs (i.e. all three persons including CS).
But pursuant to an amendment dated 09th June 2015, new rule 8A has been added which says...A company other than a company covered under rule 8 which has a paid up share capital of five crore rupees or more shall have a whole-time company secretary.
That means all private companies whose paid-up capital is more than Rs 5 Cr shall be required to appoint only CS (and not other KMPs).
