23 August 2012 Technically Its Not That Much Difference.
Company Can Appoint Diffn Auditor for Both.
A CA Can do 45 Tax Audits.
But Co Act Ceiling Limit of 30 (Not Exceed 20 Public Company >25Lacs)
Read Both Separatelly.

Means CA Cant Braek Any of The Rule.
The Worst Case Will Be Applicable to CA.
as Per CA Act
A Per Co Act
