Hi,

In case of unwillingness removal is not required. After receiving the letter of his unwillingness discuss the matter in BM and finalise the name of new auditor to be appointed in the AGM.

Also give details of new auditor in AGM notice and mention the unwillingness of previous auditor as a reason of his dis-continuation with the company.

In the AGM appoint the new auditor with the approval of members.

Regards

Also note one more thing:

There is a diff between unwillingness and resignation in company law. An auditor can resign in the middle of the FY but can not express his unwillingness to continue audit.

In other words unwillingness is concerned with the re-appointment as auditor in the AGM for the whole FY.
