ADT-3 is the prescribed form filed by an auditor with the MCA when they resign before completing their statutory term. It must be filed by the auditor within 30 days of resignation, supported by the resignation letter and the reasons for resignation. The company, in parallel, must call a board meeting to take note of the resignation, appoint a casual auditor, and intimate ROC of the new appointment through Form ADT-1 within prescribed timelines.
Form / Scope: ADT-3
Applicable to: Private Limited Companies

Auditor resignations almost never come alone — they trigger a chain of compliance: ADT-3 filing, casual vacancy resolution, ADT-1 for the new auditor, and an EGM for ratification. Per-filing quotes for the full chain typically run ₹6,000–₹12,000. Under the unlimited plan, every step is included.

Yes. ADT-3 is one of the routine compliances included in the plan. You can raise as many requests as you genuinely need throughout the year, one request at a time.
No. Government filing fees, stamp duty and certification charges are billed separately at actuals. The ₹15,000 covers the professional filing service only.
A checklist is shared the moment you raise the request. Documents typically include resolutions, KYC of relevant persons and supporting evidence specific to ADT-3.
Three working days from receipt of complete documents and required approvals. Saturdays and Sundays are non-working days.
The unlimited plan is structured as a bundle. We've found that companies needing one filing almost always need others within 12 months — and the bundle works out cheaper for nearly every Private Limited Company.
