Auditor Resignation Services
Auditor Resignation under Companies Act, 2013
Auditor resignation isn’t just about stepping down. It triggers compliance requirements for both the auditor and the company, and if not handled correctly, it can lead to penalties or regulatory issues.
At N D Savla & Associates, we manage the complete resignation process, ensuring every requirement is met cleanly and on time.
What actually happens in auditor resignation
When an auditor resigns:
- The auditor must file Form ADT-3 with ROC
- The company must take note through Board resolution
- A new auditor must be appointed (casual vacancy)
- Proper documentation and disclosures are required
Miss timelines or filings, and it creates compliance gaps that show up later.
Our scope of services
We don’t just “file forms.” We handle the full situation.
1. Advisory on Resignation Process
- Understanding legal requirements
- Clarifying roles of auditor vs company

2. Documentation & Resolutions

3. ROC Filing (ADT-3 Support)

4. Post-Resignation Compliance

Why this needs to be handled carefully
Here’s where people slip:
- Assuming company files ADT-3 (it’s the auditor’s responsibility)
- Missing the 30-day filing timeline
- Poorly drafted resignation reasons
- Delay in appointing a new auditor
These aren’t technical mistakes. They’re avoidable—but only if handled properly.
