Internal audit is mandatory for closely held companies when:
a) the paid up capital and reserves exceed more than Rs 50L at the commencement of the concerned financial year.
b) the average turnover exceeds Rs 5Cr for 3consecutive years, preceding the concerned financial year.
If any of the above conditions are satisfied by a pvt limited company then internal audit is mandatory.

It's one of the clauses of CARO 2003 which is defined under section 227 (4A).
I'am not sure whether it has been defined at any other place or not.

No direct section in Companies Act, 1956 except an indirect reference through section 227(4A).

| Appointment of internal auditor. | |||||||||
| The appointment of the internal auditor is prerogative of the management as it is entirely | |||||||||
| depends on the wishes of the managements of corporate or non-corporate organisation | |||||||||
| whether to have its own internal auditor or not. | |||||||||
| However, | |||||||||
| after the enactment of the CARO,2003 it is obligatory on the part of the companies | |||||||||
| to have internal auditing in terms of paragraph 4(vii) of the said order | |||||||||
| which is reproduced below : | |||||||||
| In the case of listed companies and/or other companies having a paid-up capital and | |||||||||
| reserves exceeding Rs.50 lakhs as at the commencement of the financial year concerned, or | |||||||||
| having an average annual turnover exceeding five crores rupees for a period of three consecutive | |||||||||
| financial years immediately preceding the financial year concerned, whether the company has an | |||||||||
| internal audit system commensurate with its size and nature of its business. | |||||||||
| Sec.227(4A) - Duty under CARO,2003 | |||||||||
| The central govt has the power to direct by a general or special order that, in the case of | |||||||||
| specified companies, the statutory auditor's report shall include a statement of such matters | |||||||||
| as may be specified in its order. | |||||||||
| CARO,2003 | |||||||||
| Issued by the Central govt. of india in terms of sub sec.(4A) of sec.227 | |||||||||
| of the companies act,1956. | |||||||||
| So, sec.227(4A) says | |||||||||
| it is mandatory for all companies to appoint internal auditor, IF CARO,2003 IS APPLICABLE. | |||||||||
