Application for appointment of cost auditor
Form 23C
Listed by MCA as “Form 23C - Application for appointment of cost auditor”
Cost auditor appointment under the 1956 Act. Replaced by CRA-2.
For any period governed by the Companies Act 2013, the form to file is CRA-2. MCA's catalogue still carries this entry, correctly — it remains the record for the periods it governed — but it is listed beside current forms without a marking, which is what this line exists to fix.
Catalogue entry only Only the name and the official source have been checked for this form. No due date, fee or eligibility rule has been reviewed, and none is shown — the official page is the authority until that work is done.
