the above situation should be dealt with as follows:

You should make an inquiry u/s 227(1A) in respect of following matters:

1. whether such payment has been authorised by the company?

2. whether the terms of appointment of a Director include such payment?

If the answers to the above questions are yes, then it is not required to be commented upon. However since the amount involved is material, adequate disclosure is required to be made in the accounts.

Where such payment is not covered by contractual obligations or accepted business practices but incurred by the company and charged to revenue accounts, it is the duty of an auditor to report thereon

if the expenses are incurred by the company then company can claim for their deduction because the company have separate legal entity and director is not a owner but a employee as per the definition u/s 2(13).
