Hi Isha,

In your case if the remuneration payable is a monthly remuneration then a special resolution at the general meeting of the Company is required in this behalf.

Thanks & Regards

But since our company is a profit making company Section I of Part II would apply

Hi Isha,

section I applies where company has adequate profits and what criteria of adequacy have you taken?

Section II applies where the Company incurs loss or has inadequate profits.......here the profits would be considered inadequate with regard to manegerial remuneration.Else we can wait for other opinions on the same

Thanks & Regards

Hi everyone,

one more thing do we have to file Form 25 C for increase in remuneration.

as such you can pay the remuneration by passing resolution in boad meeting and as such there is no requirement for the approval of share holders. yas you have to file form 25 c for incremental remuneration

Our company's article says

" Subject to the provision s of section198, 309, 310 and 311 of the act and schedule XIII of the act, a MD shall, in addition to the remuneration payable to him as a director of the company under the articles, receive such additional remuneration as may, from time to time, be sanctioned by the company."

Does it mean that for increasing the director's remuneration in middle of his tenure, do we have to take shareholders approval

Appointment and remuneration of public company should be by way of shareholders approval and filing of form 25c with Roc. If remuneration is payable is within limits laid down by sec 309, no need to look into sch XIII which talks about remuneration in the absence or inadequacy of profit.

Rushi(practice) kindly look into section 269 of cos act. It mandates appointment of managerial personnel only in GM by SH approval and filing of form with Roc.
