FAQ ON COMPANY LAW:

Query: If any Private Limited Company has taken unsecured loan from its director and their relatives during 2014-15 then how this will be reported in Audit report, Director report and notes to accounts.

Answer: As per Companies Act 2013, Companies are allowed to take loan from directors but are not allowed to take loan from the relatives of directors, during the F.Y 2014-15.

Therefore, loan taken by Companies from the relatives of director(s) is required to be qualified by the Auditor in his Auditor’s Report and the Board is required to answer the qualified opinion of Auditor in Director’s Report or Board Report.

Query: I got appointed as statutory auditor in a Private Limited Company on 25th August 2015. Previous auditor has given NOC but till now I have not filed Form ADT-1 and other ROC filing due to confusion in filing Form ADT-1. Like whether I have to attach Form ADT-3 also or not, whether I have to file 2 Form ADT-1 i.e. For the period upto this 30th Sept (date of AGM) and next for 5 years i.e. upto 30th Sept 2020. Please advise me.

Answer: Previous Auditor of the Company is required to file Form ADT-3 attaching the copy of his Resignation letter addressed to the Company. And you are required to file Form ADT-1 regarding your appointment as Statutory Auditor of Company from the date of appointment for next five financial years (including current financial year).
