Sec 139(2) Rotation of auditor

If Auditor is worked for 3 years in a company and then he take a break for 3 years then for how many more years that Auditor can be appointed in that company? Or Cooling of period will start even if he had worked for 3 years only?

Because it is written that, after completion of 5 years CONSECUTIVELY, cooling of period will Start.
Bt in my case he only work for 3 years and then he take a break.

Please do needful

After the break he can again be appointed as auditor for a period of 5/10 years as the case may be.

only 2 years... there is a term 5 consecutive years,... hence...

The auditor can continue for next 2 years as he has already covered the period of 3 years out of 5 years.

Auditor can not be appointed till the completion of cooling period of five years.

As per rules for rotation of auditors even though auditor is appointed only for 1 day cooling period of 5 years will still be applicable.

In your case auditor has to wait for 2 more years for reappointment.
