Which Entry need to be pass in Directors A/c

My name is ABC. If I am the Director of a  Pvt Ltd company, and the company's present total cash and bank balance is Rs.0, and I made a purchase for Rs.1,00,000 on 01/01/2024 on behalf of the company (bill issued in company's name) and paid from my personal bank account.

Question: Can I create a petty cash account in my name as "ABC Petty cash" under "Cash in Hand" head, then transfer 1 lakh rupee from another account created as "ABC Loan" created under Current liabilities in Balance sheet, then spend the amount to the vendor as a Payment voucher?

If the Director is also a salary person then we need to create a diffrent head or a pass the entry in the same head.
