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.
In Case of Individual Auditor they can be appointed for 5 yrs term

In Case of Audit Firm Auditor can be appointed for 2 Consecutive terms of 5 Years means can be appointed for 10 Years..

yes you can appoint a new auditor in Agm as a new statutory auditor by filing Form Adt1
@ 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.

Yes Take a Noc from previous Auditor and Tell him to File Adt3 within 30 days of Resignation

Its better to take a NOC from the existing auditor and let him file the form ADT-3. Meanwhile you can appoint new auditor.

Yes as soon as you received the noc and existing auditor filed it's adt3 for resignation , file the auditor appointment in form adt1
