In that form auditor declares that he is not disqualified (141) to be appoint as an auditor of that company.

Hi,

The Companies Act, 2013 limits the number of audits to 20 excluding 4 types of companies:

1. OPC

2. SMALL

3. Dormant

4. Private companies having Paid up Capital < 100 crore

As per council guidelines, the number of audits is limited to 30 comapnies but there are no exclusions for the above 4 types of companies.

So combined interpretation can be:

Limit of 20 excluding 4 types of companies mentioned above.

Limit of 30 including 4 types of companies mentioned above.

as per ICAI on 23-08-2018 audit limit has increased from 45-60 (30 to 45 then 45-60) it include all type of audit

but companies act also prescribe the limit which is 20 but applcable only to specified companies

suppose we have total 68 audit requirement in which 30 companies are specified companies and 38 are include others (individual firm ,companies other than specified companies(pvt company having capital below 100 crore,on person c,small company ))then we can accept 20 only out of 28 then we can choos up to 40 ,here we have 38 then total 20+38 =58 audit we can take
