Necessary formalities of enclosing documents, payment of fees, etc. are to be complied with.
The Regional Director after considering the merit of the application and based on facts and circumstances of the case, may approve such removal of the Auditor.
On receipt of such approval a meeting should be called of Board of Directors to fix the date, time, place and agenda of the Meeting where the previous Auditor will be removed and a new Auditor will be appointed in his place.
