10 September 2012 In case of resignation the vacancy can only be filled in general meeting. And ofcourse the date of appointment will be date date of EGM and the new auditor has to audit the complete year accounts of the company.

11 September 2012 Appointment was made on 24.05.2012,however, the auditor shall audit the accounts of the company for the entire year... irrespective of the date he has been appointed.

The Auditor has to file form 23B.
