Dear Dhara,

It is the case of casual vacancy under section 139(8) of the companies act 2013. Here, Board of directors have to appoint the Auditor within 30 days of such vacancy. As per your query it seems you have not appointed auditor yet which results in the contravention of the said section and is liable for punishment for contravention under sec 147 of the Act. So, it is suggested to consult with any Chartered Accountant or Company secretary for the further steps as per your convenience.
