Well the answer is not that simple as Mr. Manmohan mention it.
The position of Mr. Director + CA is very Vulnerable as he is directly interested in the company Y Limited. Such position apparently effect the independence of Mr. Director and make him bias in favour of Y limited because Y limited is providing service to the X limited of which he is a director.
I would suggest avoid such risky situation and also check any guidance issued by ICAI to avoid any future problem...

A director can not hold the post of auditor at the same time if a director is a pca than he have two option either to surrender his pca certificate as mentioned in ca guide lines or work as a pca , both work can not be do at a same time because directors have direct connection to the business , and of course he will not be eligible to appoint as an director .
