Sir, MD & WTD are categorised as employees of the company. But Ordinary Director is not an employee or officer of the company. Can u please give the reason for your reply

I haven't read about new act yet ...

but still ordinary director is directly or indirectly attached with affairs of the company and auditor should be independent to give a true and fair view

which is not possible when he becomes director. Hence he is ineligible for becoming the auditor of the company. I'm talking about statutory auditor.

Yes, i just read the meaning of officer defined in CA, 2013. And it includes "any director". That means even ordinary director Hence ordinary director is disqualified to be statutory auditor of a co.
