One of my clients is debiting legal expenses in the books of account of a Private Limited Company. They are showing an expenditure of about 5 to 6 lakhs every year. Fees are paid after deducting TDS and GST is paid on legal fees. The company has no case in court. These are paid for personal expenditure. In the computation of income tax, all these expenses are disallowed under section 37.
Now my question is whether there is any issue as per companies act and income tax?
Please advice your valuable suggestion in above matter.

But auditor says there may be problem as per companies act 2013. Auditor has object to payment of fees from the bank account of companies for personal case expenses.
