The prohibition under sub-sections (1) and (1-B) is not applicable to the remuneration/compensation given to the concerned persons for services of a professional nature rendered by them to the company in their professional capacity, such as advocate, chartered accountant, solicitor (Harper Ticket Issuing and Recording Machines Ltd., Re, (1912) WN 263 : 29 TLR 63), doctor, architect, engineer and others. The prohibition will however apply in case such professional services are rendered by the concerned persons to the company on regular retainership basis binding themselves to render such services as and when called upon by the company.
