12 October 2010 You can give a Resolution authorizing CS to sign and execute the documents instead of Power Of Attorney.

However if it is a specific requirement of particular agency, you should give Power of Attorney.

12 October 2010 Giving Power of attorney (POA) and passing a board resolution (BR)to give authority infavour of a person are actions by which a particular person is authorised to do an act (or acts) intended by the person giving such an authority. To this extent they serve similar purpose. But they are not alternates to each other in the sense that :

1) POA holder actually steps into the shoes of the giver of POA, as far as the actions executed by the person holding POA. The authorised person by BR however only acts on behalf of the company.

2)Certain statutes/authority may require a POA and certain others may be just satisfied with a Board resolution.

3) A resolution can be only in the case of corporate persons (legally incorporated person) and in the case of others it will have to be POA obviously.

4) To execute a POA itself may require a Board resolution in the case of corporates.

5) Registration requirements of statutes may be there in the case of a POA and not so in the case of BR.

Accordingly in the present case, if the Compansy Secretary is given power through a Board Resolution to execute documents it will suffice.
