Hello Sir,

As per section 224(6) you have been appointed by board to fill casual vacancy. Right now u r not supposed to file form 23B.

Form 23B is required to be filed under section 224(1).

Liability to fill 23B arise when you r appointed as auditor in the next AGM by the shareholders.

No fees has been prescribed for 23B in law and no late fee.

Regards
