This is a perquisite to be taxed in the hands of your Director. However, please check the following: Is the treatement of your Directors father done in a hospital approved by chie Commissioner of ITax. This should be by way of reimbursement to your Director against the actual expenses incurred by him for his father's treatement.
If answer to the above two questions is yes, then it is not taxable in the hands of your director.
