18 October 2015 My first query is CAN AUDITOR BE A DIRECTOR OF A COMPANY? If no.. is there a possibility, a CA under clause 11 of sch 1 CA ACT 1949 with specific permission from ICAI to be a director and CA in practise override 143(3) of companies act 2013?

22 October 2015 An auditor (CA in whole time practise) can become a 'director simplicitor' in a company other than the one he audits.

Such permission from ICAI will not override 143(3)(g) because per se it is not a disqualification covered in section 164(2).
