Quick Summary
This discussion examines the legality of a company offering incentives to directors who provide collateral for company loans. Specifically, it questions whether IT Act or Corporate Law prohibits such arrangements, especially when the incentive is a percentage of the bank's interest rate. The consensus suggests that while there are no explicit restrictions, such payments should be formalised through a Board Resolution and potentially included in the company's Articles of Association.

You can do so in Board Meeting, there is no restriction but subject to the provision of your company's articles.
 

Practically there is no such ristrictions.

It is suggested to pass a Board Resolution and insert provisions in AOA for the same.
