It should be shown as drawing and need to debit partner's capital account.

Firm can not claim deduction on a/c of rent paid for partner's accomodation.

These expeses are personal in nature. they are not incurred for bussiness purpose. hence need to be disallowed.

There is a case law on this where the partner used to carry on business activities through his home. It was proved to the satisfaction of the Department and only a part of rent was disallowed. Balance portion was allowable.

if such accomodation is mentioned in partnership agreement, and the accomodation is taken on rent by firm/ company for exclusive use by partner/director, with payment clause, then it would be available for deduction, otherwise all such payments are to be debited from capital account of respective user partner/director.
