11 June 2013 Is the filing of 23B form compulsory for an auditor of a newly incorporated company .i.e. the first auditor also appointed by Board of Directors?

Since, in the circular which mandated the compulsory filing of form 23b, its stated that 23b form should be filed by an auditor appointed in the AGM, I m confused whether its compulsory for first auditor of the company because he was not appointed in an AGM.

If its not mandatory, then what will we fill in 23AC form for that period in the column of SRN of 23B?
