03 October 2014 No need to consider it as 2+3==5.

You have to appoint him from 2014 AGM for next 5 years under section 139(1).

However things may be different if you are talking about rotational appointment under section 139(2). So check whether auditor rotation under section 139(2) is applicable on your company.

Thanks
