A person shall also not be qualified for appointment as auditor of a company if he is, by virtue of sub- section (3), disqualified for appointment as auditor of any other body corporate which is that company' s subsidiary or holding company or a subsidiary of that company' s holding company, or would be so disqualified if the body corporate were a company

In my simple term = If person is disqualified as a auditor in holding/ subsidiary company than he is also disqualified as a auditor for holding/subsidiary company also..!

Got it ?

sec. 226 of companies act 1956 

Yup i know but still litl bit confusion is there that first he became auditor of holding co. Nd now can he apply as director for subsidiary co. Or independence
Is indepndc affctd or not?

Disqualification attracted to the auditor, he should resign as an auditor.

As per which clause or sec?

Dear Megha, He can not be auditor for holding & director for subsidiary.

For Sec. 226, holding company & Subsidiary company considered as a one company. So He can not be auditor & director of same company..

 

Bcoz clause 9 only states that auditor of the company cant become director of same co.
Ohk thanx
