One million for each? It's indecent (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

improper

'indecent' is the definition.
('improper' can be similar in meaning to 'indecent')

'one million for each?' is the wordplay.
'one million' becomes 'im' (I've seen this in other clues).
'for' becomes 'pro' (I've seen this before).
'each?' becomes 'per'.
'im'+'pro'+'per'='IMPROPER'

'it's' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for improper that I've seen before include "Not conforming to norms of conduct, maybe indecent" , "unacceptable?" , "Not fitting" , "Indecent or unsuitable" , "Not in line with accepted standards of morality" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
