Ours is a Pvt Ltd Company having a turnover of more than Rs100 crores which includes production & sale of silk sarees worth Rs.8 crores (which is not Excisable item) for the FY 2014-15. Is this Company required to appoint the Cost Auditor as per Companies(Cost Records & Audit) Rules 2014 for the FY 2015=16. Can you pl reply with proper reasoning ?
