31 October 2009 There is no restrction under companies act for a private limited company for payment of salaries in terms of amount and number of directors. However the same should be reasonable and their services are required for the company otherwise the assessing office will disallow the expenditure.

This aforesaid limit is applicable in the case of a company having profits. (Section 309)

However, approval of the Central Government shall not be required for payment of remuneration to its managerial person if the appointment has been made in accordance with the provisions of section 269 read with Schedule XIII to the Act. [Section 198(4)]
