07 April 2017 itf auditor is to be appointed as the statutory auditor in fy 15-16 then he must fulfill qualifications of Sec 141, and as per Sec 141 it not disqualifies on basis that person so as to be appointed as statutory auditor was an internal auditor in FY 14-15.

so you can appoint ABC as Statutory auditor in FY 15-16 even though he is an Internal Auditor in FY 14-15.
