can a director of a private limited company, withdraw amount from company as advance against salary for the year?

Any compliance for this in ROC and income tax?

Quick Summary
This discussion explores whether a director of a private limited company can take an advance against their annual salary. It highlights that Section 185 of the Companies Act likely prohibits this as it's considered a loan. An alternative suggested is to treat it as excess remuneration, which must be repaid to the company within two years, avoiding direct loan implications.

I think it is not allowed under section 185. Please see the below

A Director Cannot take advance salary since it's a form of loan under section 185
however you can show it as excess remuneration to director that shall be refundable to company within 2 years
