Form ADT-1 is an electronic form filed with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs to inform the Registrar of Companies about the appointment of a company's auditor. The filing requirement arises under Section 139 of the Companies Act, 2013.
The form captures important information about the appointed auditor, including their professional credentials and tenure. Companies are required to submit this form within the prescribed period after the appointment resolution has been passed.
Appointing an auditor is one of the most important compliance requirements for every company registered in India. After selecting an auditor, the company must notify the Registrar of Companies by filing Form ADT-1 under the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013. Whether it is the appointment of the first auditor after incorporation or the reappointment of an existing auditor during the Annual General Meeting, filing this form on time is essential.
At TaxAbide, we assist businesses with the complete ADT-1 filing process. From reviewing documents to submitting the form through the MCA portal, our experts help you maintain compliance without unnecessary delays or penalties.
Filing Form ADT-1 helps establish transparency in the company's financial reporting framework. It officially records the auditor's appointment and ensures that the company complies with statutory audit requirements. Failure to complete this filing within the specified timeline may lead to additional filing fees and regulatory complications.
Companies filing ADT-1 must ensure the following conditions are fulfilled:
The auditor has been appointed according to the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013
Written consent has been obtained from the auditor
The auditor has confirmed eligibility under Section 141 of the Act
The appointment does not violate the prescribed audit limits
The company possesses all supporting documents required for filing
The responsibility for filing Form ADT-1 lies with the company. The auditor does not submit this form on behalf of the company.

After incorporation, the first auditor is appointed during the initial Board Meeting. The company should complete the ADT-1 filing within the prescribed period from the date of appointment.
