ADT-1 Filing Services in India
📌 What is ADT-1 Filing?
ADT-1 is the official form submitted to the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) to notify the appointment, reappointment, or cessation of a statutory auditor in a company. This filing is a legal requirement under the Companies Act, 2013, ensuring that all auditor appointments are formally recorded with the regulator.
Under Section 139, companies are required to appoint auditors for a specified tenure, and their appointment must be confirmed by shareholders. ADT-1 captures the auditor’s details, including name, membership number, tenure, and remuneration, thereby formalizing the process and ensuring transparency.
Section 141 outlines the eligibility and qualifications of auditors, while Section 143 defines their powers, duties, and responsibilities during audits. Filing ADT-1 ensures the company remains compliant with these provisions, avoiding any legal or regulatory complications.
📌 Why ADT-1 Filing is Crucial for Companies
