This discussion concerns the tenure limits for individual auditors in private limited companies with a turnover of around 2 crore. The question is whether an auditor can continue beyond 10 years. The advice provided points to Section 139(2) of the Companies Act 2013 and Rule 5 of the Companies Rules 2014, which base auditor appointment and continuation on paid-up capital and borrowings/deposits, not turnover.
