INCREASING MANAGERIAL REMUNERATIONS


For the companies having no profits or inadequate profits, limits of managerial remuneration under schedule XIII to the Companies Act, 1956 have been revised.

Based on effective capital of the company, earlier limits were Rs. 75,000/- to Rs. 2,00,000/- per month. These have now been revised to Rs. 1,50,000/- to Rs. 4,00,000/- per month and linked to good corporate governance practices.

The decision was taken as a liberalizing measure and to encourage good corporate governance. The inflation that has taken place since the previous limits were fixed, was also taken into consideration.

This information was given by the Union Minister of Law, Justice and Company Affairs, Shri Arun Jaitley in a written reply to a question from S/Shri Kapil Sibal and Rajiv Ranjan Singh 'Lalan' in the Rajya Sabha today.
