What is ADT-1?
Every Private Limited Company and OPC must appoint a Chartered Accountant (or CA firm) as its statutory auditor within 30 days of incorporation. This is separate from your regular CA — the statutory auditor is required by law to certify your annual financial statements.
Penalty for missing ADT-1
₹300 per month delay. The company cannot file financial statements without an appointed auditor.
