ADT-1 Filing Services in India
ADT-1 Filing is a mandatory compliance requirement for companies in India when appointing, reappointing, or confirming a statutory auditor. Under the Companies Act, 2013, every company must file ADT-1 with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) to officially record the auditor’s details. This ensures transparency, proper governance, and uninterrupted audit operations.
It is the prescribed form used to inform the MCA about the appointment or reappointment of the statutory auditor. The requirement arises under:
-
Section 139 – Auditor appointment and tenure
-
Section 140 – Auditor resignation and removal
-
Section 141 – Auditor eligibility and qualifications
-
Section 143 – Auditor powers and reporting responsibilities
Companies must file ADT-1 within 15 days of the auditor’s appointment in an AGM or EGM. Timely ADT-1 Filing helps maintain accurate statutory records and protects the company from legal exposure.
Why ADT-1 Filing Is Crucial for Companies

-
