Director (finance) being a whole-time director can attend Audit Committee meetings but does not have a right to vote. Now being a whole-time director, can he be included as a member of the committee? If not why? Is there any precedent regarding this topic?

A whole Time Director can be appointed as a member of Audit Commitee,as long as you comply with sec 292A / clause 49 of the listing agreement as the case may be .
As per section 292A of Companies Act , every public Company having a paid up capital of not less than Rs. 5 Crore shall constitute Audit Committee consisting of atleast 3 members of which two- third shall be the directors other than managing or whole time director.
In the case of listed Company, clause 49 states that:
- The audit committee shall have minimum three directors as members.Two-thirds of the members of audit committee shall be independent directors.
For details, you can refer the listing agreement.
