Section 226(3) of the company’s act 1956 specifies that a person shall be disqualified to act as an auditor if he is indebted to the company for the amount exceeding Rs. 1000/- no matter what the case in the advance was taken.
i just want to ask to u all that if the audit firm is indebted not the auditor than what??????? whether the auditor will be disqualified or not??????? what of the co.. is pvt ltd....?????
Hi mayank.
The person who is qualified for the post of auditor is a CA or a firm of CA.
so if the firm is indebted to the company the firm is disqualified from being appointed as an auditor. so it does not matter whether auditor is indebted or not.
It is my view. correct me if i am mistaken

That is Right. As the Firm is the Auditor in this case. the Individual Indebtedness of the Partners, doesnt matter.
hellowwww mayank,
as per sec 226(3), if it is a proprietory concern then itself auditor is disqualified and if it is a partnership concern then the firm is disqualified because partners r acting on behalf of firm ..............
therefore as per my knowledge the firm should be disqualified
correct me if m wrong anywhere
The case you have asked refers tro collecting the fees on progressive basis.
The research committee of ICAI has opined that if an auditor collects his fees on progressive basis , then he isnot indebted to the company and hence not disqualified u/s 226(3)(d)
Therefore when an auditor collects his fees in advance, he is not disqualified.
hellow chataniya ji,
in this case mr mayank already told that firm is INDEBTED AND if firm is indebted then how it can be feessssss......
indebtness is not covered under feeesssssssssssssssssssssss
correct me if req.
Hello sir chaitanya
The auditor will get appointed only when he is not indebted right.
so his fees will also be deemed to be taken in that indebtedness?
Because as far as i know, before appointment or reappointment or after appointment if the auditor or the firm are subject to any disqualification referred to in section 226 then it shall be treated as subsequent disqualification.
According to my lnowledge, if the firm is disqualified then all the partners will become disqualified. So here the auditor is disqualified.
guys guys one more thing what if the co is Pvt Ltd.??????????? will this section will be applicable.....
?????????????????????????????/
Sec 226 (3) applies for the both Co or Private Limited Co.
