Section 148 of Companies Act 2013 has been notified which does not provide for approval of CG for appointment of cost auditor. However, Rules under this Section are yet to be notified. President of Cost Accountants Institute has also taken up this issue with MCA:

In view of this, there is no need to file Form 23C now for 2014-15.

It is very clear. There is no need to file Form 23C. Form 23C refers to 1956 Act and these provisions are no more applicable now.

on raising the complaint / ticket to MCA , we got following message for the query on filing 23c for the year 2014-15

"" Dear Sir/Madam,
Kindly refer the sections notified in place of the old sections as this form shall remain on the site till new form is notified by the ministry.""

pl.comment.

As usual, it is very very vague reply and is not based on any legal provision.
