20 July 2024 Based on the information you've provided, it seems there is confusion regarding whether a real estate company needs to appoint a cost auditor. According to the Companies (Cost Records and Audit) Rules, 2021, the requirement to appoint a cost auditor applies to companies engaged in certain industries based on their turnover thresholds.

For real estate companies, the key factor is their turnover:

- If the company's turnover from sale or supply of goods or services exceeds Rs. 20 crore, then they are required to maintain cost records and appoint a cost auditor.

Real estate activities such as construction, reconstruction, dealing in flats, contracting, architecture, decoration, processing and dealing in building materials, estate agency, brokerage, property management, and leasing are typically covered under this rule if their turnover meets the threshold.

Therefore, if a real estate company's turnover exceeds Rs. 20 crore from their sale or supply activities, they are liable to appoint a cost auditor as per the Companies (Cost Records and Audit) Rules, 2021. It's advisable to verify the latest regulations or consult with a qualified professional to ensure compliance specific to your situation.
