Empanelment of CA firms & Retired Officers of IDBI Bank as Concurrent Auditor

IDBI Bank has invited online applications for empanelment of Chartered Accountant (CA) firms and its retired officers as Concurrent Auditors for future assignments, with the application window open from April 6, 2026 to April 27, 2026. The notice mandates fresh applications due to migration to a new audit platform, even for already empanelled applicants. For CA firms, eligibility requires a minimum five-year existence as of February 28, 2026, proper registration status, adequate infrastructure, prior audit experience, and absence of disciplinary proceedings. Firms must not be statutory auditors of the bank, LIC, or related entities, and must upload specified documents such as registration certificates, partner details, and prior audit credentials.

Preference is given to firms with qualified auditors and banking experience. For retired officers, eligibility includes retirement on or before June 30, 2025, age below 69 years as of June 30, 2026, minimum 10 years’ service with at least 5 years in AGM grade or above, clean service record, and medical fitness. Additional conditions include a cooling-off period of 12 months and no pending legal or disciplinary cases. The selection process involves scrutiny of applications, but empanelment does not guarantee audit assignment, which remains at the bank’s discretion. Assignments, if granted, are contractual for up to three years, subject to age limits, with remuneration as per bank guidelines. Incomplete applications are liable for rejection, and no correspondence will be entertained unless shortlisted.
