1. The company will call General Meeting to appoint an statutory auditor at General Meeting if auditor is not appointed at Board Meeting within one month from the date of incorporation of company.
2. Send letter of appointment to auditor within seven days from the appointment.
3. The auditor give letter of acceptance as auditor to the company.
4. The auditor also intimate ROC in Form 23B within 30 days from the date of acceptance of letter of appointment.
5. Form 23B can be download from www.mca.gov.in
6. Letter of appointment will be attached with Form 23b.

There is no penality for that, if you are not appointed them at Board Meeting.
