Auditor appointment intimation filing
What is Form ADT-1?
Form ADT-1 is a ROC/MCA filing used to intimate the Registrar of Companies about the appointment or reappointment of a company’s statutory auditor.
It helps keep the company’s MCA records updated with auditor details, appointment date, tenure, and related compliance information under the Companies Act framework.
Applicability of ADT-1 filing
Who Should File Form ADT-1?
Form ADT-1 is generally relevant for companies that need to intimate ROC/MCA about auditor appointment, reappointment, or applicable auditor-related changes. Musecorp helps review the company’s situation before preparing the filing.
Companies Reappointing Auditor
Companies reappointing an auditor at the annual general meeting generally need to intimate ROC through Form ADT-1 within the applicable timeline.
Private Limited Companies
Private limited companies should maintain proper auditor appointment records and complete ROC/MCA filing where applicable.
OPCs and Section 8 Companies
One Person Companies and Section 8 companies may also require auditor appointment compliance support based on their filing status and applicable provisions.
Companies Changing Auditor
If an auditor is changed, removed, or appointed due to a vacancy, related ROC/MCA filings should be reviewed carefully before submission.
Companies with Pending ADT-1
If ADT-1 was missed or delayed earlier, Musecorp can help review the delay status, documents, and possible filing route.
Filing timeline and delay check
ADT-1 Due Date and Filing Timeline
The ADT-1 filing timeline depends on the type of auditor appointment, meeting date, and company facts. For auditor appointment or reappointment at an AGM, filing is generally completed within 15 days of the meeting.
Common ADT-1 Filing Situations
| Situation | General Timing | Important Note |
|---|---|---|
| Auditor appointment or reappointment at AGM | Generally within 15 days of the AGM or meeting where the auditor is appointed or reappointed. | The exact date should be checked from the meeting records and resolution. |
| First auditor appointment after incorporation | First auditor appointment is generally handled soon after incorporation, subject to the Companies Act framework. | ADT-1 applicability should be checked against the current MCA form requirement and company-specific facts before filing. |
| Auditor change, resignation, vacancy, or replacement | Timing depends on the event type, appointment route, and applicable ROC/MCA filing requirement. | Supporting documents and correct event classification should be reviewed carefully. |
| Delayed or missed ADT-1 filing | Late filing may still be possible, subject to MCA system acceptance and applicable additional fees. | Musecorp can review delay period, document readiness, and filing route before submission. |
This is general compliance guidance. The final filing position should be verified against current MCA form requirements, company records, and appointment documents before submission.
Late filing risk and additional fees
ADT-1 Penalty and Late Filing Consequences
