लेखा परीक्षक नियुक्ति / हटाना

आरओसी फाइलिंग के साथ वैधानिक लेखा परीक्षक की नियुक्ति और हटाना।

Every company appoints its first auditor within thirty days of incorporation and thereafter appoints an auditor at each annual general meeting for a term of five years, filing Form ADT-1 within fifteen days of the appointment. It is easy to treat as routine right up to the point it is missed, at which stage the consequence is not a fee — it is that the company cannot file AOC-4, because there is no audit report to attach, and the ₹100-a-day fee on the annual filings starts running against a company that is unable to fix it.

प्रक्रिया

हम वास्तव में क्या करते हैं

1
We appoint the first auditor within thirty days
By the board, within thirty days of incorporation. If the board does not, the members must within ninety days. This is the deadline new companies miss most, usually because nothing appears to depend on it yet.
2
We file ADT-1 for each appointment
Within fifteen days of the AGM at which the appointment is made, with the auditor's written consent and their certificate of eligibility attached.
3
We check the rotation rules where they apply
Listed companies and companies above the prescribed capital, turnover or borrowing thresholds must rotate — an individual auditor after five years, a firm after ten. Planning the transition beats discovering the term has ended in the middle of an audit.
4
We handle resignation and casual vacancy properly
A resigning auditor files ADT-3 within thirty days. A casual vacancy is filled by the board within thirty days, and where it arose from resignation the members must also approve within three months.
5
We handle removal before term correctly
Removing an auditor before the end of their term requires a special resolution and prior Central Government approval in Form ADT-2, plus a hearing for the auditor. It is deliberately difficult, and treating it as a board decision does not work.

यह किसके लिए है

Newly incorporated companies, within thirty days
Companies appointing or reappointing an auditor at the AGM
Companies whose auditor has resigned mid-year, creating a casual vacancy
Companies subject to the rotation requirement, where a term is ending
Companies whose annual filing is blocked because no auditor is in office

कितना समय लगता है

Two to three working days for an appointment and the ADT-1 filing. Removal before term runs to several weeks because of the Central Government approval.

यदि आप कुछ न करें

The annual filing cannot be made, because there is no audit report to attach — and the additional fee on AOC-4 and MGT-7 runs at ₹100 a day each while the company is structurally unable to file. This is the specific way a small, dormant, otherwise harmless company accumulates a very large arrear: not by ignoring the filings, but by never appointing the auditor who has to sign them.

जो अक्सर ग़लत होता है

Missing the thirty-day first-auditor appointment, which nothing appears to depend on until the first AOC-4
Not filing ADT-1, so the appointment is not on the record even though it was validly made
Attempting to remove an auditor by board resolution, without the special resolution and ADT-2 approval
Leaving a casual vacancy unfilled, which leaves the company without an auditor mid-year
Missing a rotation deadline and discovering it partway through an audit

जुर्माना

Penalty on the company and every officer in default under section 147 for contravention of section 139
AOC-4 cannot be filed without an audit report, so the ₹100-a-day annual filing fee runs regardless
An audit conducted by someone not validly appointed is open to challenge
