The director is considered as an employee of the company in whihc he is an director, as the Co wud issue Form16 to the director. hence the PF whihc the Co deducts from the directo's salary wud be eligible for deduction u/s 80C. Also the contribution whihc the co makes towards teh director's salary wud also be exempt, when the director withdraws his Pf balance.
