The notification with relation to minimum audit fees has been withdrawn by the council. The same is not effective now.
And for the matter of audit fees, It is a matter of discussion between the auditor and the client. The fees is decided based on the mutual discussion between the two parties. It is immaterial that the fees 100000 Rs is lower than that charged by the previous auditor. You are free to charge any amount of fees. There is no professional misconduct in the same.
