Under the Companies Act, 2013, every company registered in India must appoint a statutory auditor to examine its books of accounts and report on financial accuracy. The auditor ensures that the company’s financial statements present a true and fair view and comply with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) and other legal frameworks.
A company must appoint its first auditor within 30 days of incorporation by the Board of Directors. If the Board fails to do so, shareholders must appoint the auditor within 90 days at an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM). For subsequent years, the auditor is appointed at the first Annual General Meeting (AGM) and holds office for five consecutive years, subject to annual ratification by shareholders.
The appointment or reappointment of auditors is formally notified to the Registrar of Companies (ROC) by filing Form ADT-1 within 15 days of appointment. This filing confirms the auditor’s details, term, and consent to act as the company’s statutory auditor.
Auditors can be either:
An individual Chartered Accountant (CA) holding a valid certificate of practice, or
A firm of Chartered Accountants registered with the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI).
In the case of Government companies, the appointment is made by the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) of India, as per Section 139(5) of the Act.
An auditor’s term may end due to completion of tenure, resignation, disqualification, or removal. If a casual vacancy arises (e.g., resignation), the Board must appoint a new auditor within 30 days, subject to shareholder approval in the next general meeting.

It means officially assigning a qualified Chartered Accountant or audit firm to review, verify, and report on the financial statements of your company to ensure accuracy and compliance with the law.
Only a Chartered Accountant (CA) with a valid Certificate of Practice or a firm of Chartered Accountants registered with the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) can be appointed as an auditor.
Every new company must appoint its first auditor within 30 days of incorporation by a Board resolution. If the Board fails, shareholders must appoint one within 90 days in an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM).
If the Board does not act within the deadline, the matter is escalated to shareholders who must finalize and approve the auditor’s appointment within the next 90 days.
A statutory auditor holds office for a term of five consecutive financial years, subject to annual ratification in every Annual General Meeting (AGM) by shareholders.
Form ADT-1 is an official MCA e-form used to notify the Registrar of Companies (ROC) about the appointment or reappointment of the company’s auditor within 15 days of approval.
Failure to file Form ADT-1 may lead to monetary penalties on both the company and its officers for non-compliance with Section 139 of the Companies Act, 2013.
Yes, but removal before the end of tenure requires a special resolution in a general meeting and prior approval from the Central Government under Section 140(1).
Key documents include the Board Resolution, consent letter from the auditor, eligibility certificate, and details of the auditor’s registration and membership number.
Yes, after the initial term, the auditor can be reappointed for another five years. However, for listed or large public companies, auditor rotation rules under Section 139(2) apply.
Yes, a firm of Chartered Accountants can be appointed, and any partner authorized by the firm may sign the audit report on its behalf.
Yes, every company — even a small, dormant, or Section 8 company — must appoint an auditor to examine its annual accounts.
You can confirm the auditor’s authenticity and registration details on the ICAI official portal using the membership or firm number.
The company and every responsible officer may face fines, and the company’s financial statements may be deemed non-compliant under the Companies Act.
Form ADT-1 must be filed by the company after obtaining the auditor’s consent and board approval — not by the auditor.
In case of resignation, the company must appoint a new auditor within 30 days and the resigning auditor must file Form ADT-3 with the ROC.
Yes, but it requires passing a resolution in a general meeting and ensuring compliance with all legal procedures for removal and reappointment.
LLPs are required to appoint an auditor only if their annual turnover exceeds ₹40 lakh or capital contribution exceeds ₹25 lakh in a financial year.
Rotation means changing the auditor after a maximum term — it is mandatory for listed, large public, or specified private companies to avoid conflict of interest.
Ebizfiling prepares the board resolution, obtains auditor consent, files Form ADT-1, and ensures ROC acknowledgment, keeping your company fully compliant.

I have found EbizFiling through google ads, and was impressed by their pricing. Like I have searched some 20-30 similar service providers and Ebiz was the most budget friendly. Everytime we try to hire someone without knowing them personally, we often feel insecure and so was with my case. So first time I tried to order a service from Ebiz, it was for auditor appointment, email said it would need 5-7 days, but the files were submitted within 1 day. Next 2 days were government holiday, so got no response from Ministry of Corporate Affairs and on 3rd day received notification from MCA regarding successful auditor appointment. And that was the moment when I had no more insecurities, I got the trust I needed and I have left working with local chartered accountants and continued to work with EbizFiling.
Great going Ebizfiling! We are satisfied with your services and would recommend them to others. Good luck for your future.
We had a great experience working with you. Kudos to Ebizfiling for your services.
