Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the timeline for appointing the first auditor in government companies as per Section 139(7) of the Companies Act, 2013. The Comptroller and Auditor-General of India has 60 days to appoint, followed by the Board of Directors within 30 days if the CAG fails. If the Board also fails, the members must appoint the auditor within 60 days at an extraordinary general meeting.

In case of Government companies (or) Companies controlled by combination of central / state government, according to Section 139 (7) of Companies Act, 2013 :

"the first auditor shall be appointed by the Comptroller and Auditor-General of India within sixty days from the date of registration of the company and in case the Comptroller and Auditor-General of India does not appoint such auditor within the said period, the Board of Directors of the company shall appoint such auditor within the next thirty days; and in the case of failure of the Board to appoint such auditor within the next thirty days, it shall inform the members of the company who shall appoint such auditor within the sixty days at an extraordinary general meeting, who shall hold office till the conclusion of the first annual general meeting"

That means in next 30 days
