Remuneration will not include LTC/Bonus. Hence the Co. can pay Remuneration of Rs.45000 p.m after passing special resolution
Your case is governed by section 314(1B) and not by sub section (1) as the remuneration is more then Rs. 20,000. Hence in your case prior approval of shareholders is required.
