For the 1st year, It's not mandatory to file form 23b.From next year onwards, when auditor receives the letter of appointment , file form within 7 days.

Form 23B filing is for those auditors who were appointed in general meeting. The appoint of first auditor being done by the board of directors, no need to file form 23B.

For first appointment no need to file...thereafter it is the duty of the auditor to file 23b

Since, there is some confusion in the language of section 224, however, in my opinion every auditor should file form 23B and intimate his appointment to the ROC.
