As per Section 226(3) a person holding any security of the company is not qualified for appointment as auditor of a company. As per the Act there is no restriction for an auditor's wife holding the shares of the company.
Whether there are any restrictions as per the listing agreement?
Experts please clarify.

Agreed with Expert. To the best of my knowledge, no such restrictions have been imposed by the Listing Agreement.

Yes, I fully agree with Bosu that ethically the auditors or his family members should not have any shares of the company in which he or his firm is being appointed an auditor.
