09 December 2016 As the Company is formed on 25/02/2016. soa s per section 2(41) of the companies act , its financial year will end on 31 st March 2017. and as per section 96 of the companies act 2013, company has to hold AGM within 9 months from the closure of financial year. so it will have to conduct its AGM by 30th December 2017( maximum time). And as per section 139 of the companies act , board of the director has to appoint the first auditor within 30 days but if board fails to appoint , then shareholder appoint auditor within 90 days in EGM.and such Auditor shall hold the office till the date of AGM of the Company. However there is no need to file any form ADT 1 for the appointment of first auditor of the Company
