Kindly guide me whether in the instant case Mr.X is a key management personnel
Mr. X holds 50% shares in ABC Pvt Ltd. Mr. X is a director of the said company.Mr.X does not receive any remuneration friom the company. He gets only his share of dividend. He is not a managing director or whole time director. Whether Mr. X is a key management personnel as per AS-18??
Also, is he a key management personnel as defined by Companies Act, 1956.
Kindly clarify.

It can be managing director, whole time director, manager & any other person with whose directions BOD is accustomed to act.
