27 August 2010 Section 226 of the companies act which is about disqualification of auditor is silent about the relatives of proposed auditor in the company.

However as per ICAI internal regulations the same position should be avoided and not advisable. In other words an auditor should not accept audit of a company where his relative is a director simply to maintain his independence.

Bcoz if somebody raise a question about his independence then it would be a bit difficult for auditor to prove his independence.

Wait for other expert opinions.
