This discussion clarifies the applicability of CARO (Companies Auditor's Report Order) provisions to a private limited company. The company has a turnover of Rs. 9 Crores and share capital of Rs. 1.20 Crores, with no loans. While the turnover is below the Rs. 10 Crore threshold for exemption, the share capital exceeds Rs. 1 Crore. This means CARO, 2016 is applicable as at least one of the exemption conditions is not met.
One of my clients is a private limited company with a turnover of Rs. 9 Crs. They do not have any loans. Their share capital is Rs. 1.20 Crs. Is CARO provisions get applicable to them ?
