27 October 2010 hi,
a relative of director is not disqualified for appointment as auditor. But consent of the shareholders by special resolution as required u/s 314 will have to be obtained if remuneration exceeds the limits fixed therein.

same as in partnership firm an auditor if relative of one partner can also appointed as auditor.
but icai suggests due to relationship of an auditors ,the independence of auditors is likely to be jeopardised , he should use his dood sence and acting in best traditions of profession, refrain from accepting the appoinment.
