Auditor Appointment for Companies in Ranchi
Appoint your statutory auditor the right way. We handle the eligibility checks, resolutions, consent letters and the ADT-1 filing with the Registrar.
A legally valid appointment, filed on time
Every company registered under the Companies Act, 2013 must appoint a statutory auditor, who is a practising Chartered Accountant or firm. The appointment must follow the process in the Act, including the auditor’s written consent, a certificate of eligibility and the right resolution.
Mistakes in the process or a missed ADT-1 filing can create compliance defaults. We guide you through each step, help you shortlist eligible practising CAs, and file the forms. The audit itself is carried out by the independent auditor you appoint.

Common questions
When must the first auditor be appointed?
The board of directors appoints the first auditor within 30 days of the company’s incorporation. If the board does not, the shareholders can appoint one at a general meeting.
For how long is an auditor appointed?
A company generally appoints an auditor for a term of up to five years. The rules differ for certain classes of companies, and we confirm what applies to yours.
Who can be a statutory auditor?
Only a practising Chartered Accountant or a firm of Chartered Accountants, who must be eligible and not disqualified, for example by having a financial interest in the company.
Is ADT-1 mandatory?
Yes. After an auditor is appointed or reappointed, the company must inform the Registrar by filing Form ADT-1 within the prescribed time.
Does Around Tax act as our auditor?
We support the appointment process and compliance filings. The statutory audit must be done by an independent practising CA, and we can help you shortlist one.
What if the auditor resigns?
The company files Form ADT-3 and a replacement must be appointed within the time allowed. We handle the paperwork.
