The Companies Act, is silent about the filing of Form-23B by first auditor. But in today's new Form-23AC mandatory required the SRN of Form-23B and it is also required to first auditor also.

But you can file Form-23B without late payment till 23.12.2012. So don't worry File 23B of First Auditor.

30 October 2012 First Auditor Form is to be Filed by Board/Auditor.


Now You have to File Compulsory.

Form-23B should be filed by auditor and not by company. However it may be filed by company on behalf of Auditor.

30 October 2012 Dear Ajayji,

I Mean For First Auditor, 23B is Not Compulsory to Filed.
Read Wth 224(5).

23B is Not required in Case of First Auditor.

I agree with you totally.

But Form-23AC demand SRN of Form-23B of Auditor.

30 October 2012 Yes, For That Its to be Filed.
But Many a Times, Its Practice in That Case, We Create SRN Dummy One.

30 October 2012 Yes, but the first auditor appointed by Board or General meeting filing of Form-23B is indirectly mandatory by demand of new Form-23AC.

I always suggest to everyone to file 23B.

30 October 2012 Agree with Ajay Ji. Form 23AC require SRN of 23B. So it is advisable to file 23B due to latest amendments.
