Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the process for appointing a new auditor during an Annual General Meeting (AGM). It explains the distinction between individual auditors and audit firms regarding reappointment terms and cooling-off periods. The consensus is that a new auditor can be appointed at the AGM, even if the current auditor's term hasn't expired, provided a No Objection Certificate (NOC) is obtained from the retiring auditor, who must then file Form ADT-3 for resignation. Subsequently, the new auditor can be appointed via Form ADT-1.
Individual auditor cannot be reappointed as an auditor after a term of 5 years, cooling period has to be followed for 5 years . audit firm can be appointed for 2 terms of 5 years. after that cooling period for 5 years has to be followed.
@ shruthi bansal @ tanuj chandra thanks for the reply, actually the period of 2 term of 5 years not lapsed,but want to change the auditor in AGM.Does I have any option other than resignation and removal.
