Whereas the auditor can perform the audit under the principle of professional competence, the auditor should avoid situations that may become threats to compliance with the fundamental principles, for example self interest.
No, the auditor cannot be appointed in Lilavati hospital as he is indebted for 7 lakh rupees which is in excess of 500000 rupees.
No, the limit is not seperated. If the auditor indebted for
5 lakhs rupees in any of the subsidiary, holding or associate company, then he is ineligible to be appointed as auditor

I think the auditor can be appointed, but its his duty to put it into consideration that there might be a conflict of interest which might override the audit opinion. the immediate solution if the appointment is made is to declare the conflict of interest and maybe get an audit partner to handle the audit.
Ok thanks. and I think limit of indebtedness of 5 Lacs limit is for the entire group.
In my opinion, Commercial transactions in ordinary course of business at arms length price are not to be considered as Indebtness..
but over this if you think that it might affect your Independence, avoid such appointment..
