05 January 2015 1. The appointment of auditors shall be made for a 5 year term subject to ratification at every AGM.

2. YES. Section 196 of the Companies Act, 2013 provides that no company shall appoint or reappoint any person as its Whole Time Director for a term exceeding five years at a time and no reappointment shall be made earlier than one year before the expiry of his term.

Earlier the provisions of appointment of WTD for 5 years were not applicable to private company.
