Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies whether a director leasing office space to their company constitutes a Related Party Transaction (RPT) under the Companies Act 2013. It confirms that such arrangements are indeed RPTs, requiring board approval via resolution, unless the transaction is conducted on an arm's length basis. Guidance is provided on the relevant sections of the Act and the procedures to ensure compliance.

 

1 )  As per section  2(76)  of the companies act 2013  , a director  or his relative are related party .  

2) As per section 188 (1) (c) of the companies act 2013 - except with the consent  of the Board of Directors given by resolution at the meeting  of the Board and subject to such  condition as may be prescribed  no  company shall enter into contract or arrangement with a related party with respect  to leasing of property of any kind .  

So you have pass  resolution first . Go through companies act 2013

Also note that if transaction between Director and company is arm's length basis then there is no requirement to pass any resolution.

Refer section 188 again.
