Non-compliance with accounting standards, non-cooperation by Auditor. Appellant did not respond to NFRA's letters and show cause notice, violating principles of natural justice. Appellant's defense of relocation to Nepal and inaccessibility of email/phone unconvincing in modern communication era. Contradictory claims regarding replying to SEBI but not NFRA. Delayed appeal filing after penalty order raises doubts. NFRA followed due process, established professional misconduct charges. Maximum penalty of Rs. 20 lakhs and 10-year audit debarment justified due to non-cooperation, lack of defense records. Proportionality principle allows relief if diligence proven to NFRA. No illegality in order, appeal dismissed by NCLAT.
