    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

    Is Form ADT-1 mandatory for first auditor appointment?
    Yes, as of July 14, 2025, Form ADT-1 is now mandatory for first auditor appointments. Earlier it was optional, but the new MCA amendment makes it compulsory for all auditor appointments.
    What is the deadline for filing Form ADT-1?
    Form ADT-1 must be filed within 15 days from the date of the AGM (or Board meeting for casual vacancy) at which the auditor is appointed. Late filing attracts penalties and MCA compliance notices.
    Who is responsible for filing Form ADT-1?
    The company is responsible for filing Form ADT-1, not the auditor. The filing must be done by a director with DSC (Digital Signature Certificate) or through a practicing CA/CS on behalf of the company.
    What is the filing fee for Form ADT-1?
    The government does not charge a filing fee for Form ADT-1. However, professional charges for document preparation and filing assistance may apply depending on your service provider.
    Can the same auditor be reappointed?
    Yes, auditors can be reappointed at each Annual General Meeting. However, they cannot exceed 2 consecutive terms of 5 years each (total 10 years) unless specific exemptions apply under Companies Act.
    What if the auditor resigns before completion of tenure?
    The company must appoint a new auditor to fill the casual vacancy within 30 days. A Board meeting is held, and Form ADT-1 is filed within 15 days to notify MCA of the new appointment.
    Is professional certification mandatory for Form ADT-1?
    Yes, Form ADT-1 must be signed and certified by a practicing Company Secretary (CS) or Chartered Accountant (CA). This ensures legal compliance and authenticity of the filing.
