A Pvt. Ltd. Co. is in existence since 1998 and has the same firm of auditors since inception. It does not fall into the class of companies prescribed u/s 139(2). It will reappoint its auditors in the AGM. Will it be an appointment for the next 5 years or will it be a simple reappointment till the next AGM ?

What would be the resolution to be passed at the AGM ? Will it mention that XYZ & Co., Chartered Accountants are being reappointed till the conclusion of 6th AGM from this meeting or will it say that the CA firm is being reappointed till the next AGM ?
