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

A correctly submitted Filing supports smooth financial governance in several ways:

• Complies with Sections 139, 140, 141, and 143 of the Companies Act, 2013

• Ensures transparent appointment of statutory auditors

• Enables smooth and timely statutory audits

• Prevents penalties under Section 99 for non-compliance

• Builds trust with shareholders, investors, and regulators

• Ensures consistency in auditor data across MCA master records

When Companies Must File ADT-1

Companies typically require Filing in the following situations:

• Appointment of a new statutory auditor

• Reappointment after the auditor’s tenure ends

• Confirmation of auditor details during AGM
