Halo Sir/Mam,

A Private company in which i m auditing is using the House Property of the Directors & in return the company is paying all the maintenance charges of the property in lieu of Rent.

So company is not paying any rent to the Directors but it is paying all maintenance charges of property.

Pls. help with a Case study,if possible, whether it is legal or it will be disallowed.
Thanks
