If you are a company secretary employed by the company and your name is appeared in ROC records as CS of Company then as per companies act you should sign the balance sheet along with 2 directors of the company.

Hey thanks,
Jitendra, Prashant, Charu.
But while having a discussion with my CS friends i came across cases where Company Secretary had not signed the Balance Sheet and all for reasons unknown. May be that there are some problems in that Balance Sheet. Is it OK for the CS to say no to signing.

Dear Author, You can do so but if your case comes into scrutiny then only u may have to face penal consequences for non compliance of section 215.
