Can a Chartered Accountant in whole time practice accept an appointment as NON EXECUTIVE PROFESSIONAL DIRECTOR in a PRIVATE LIMITED COMPANY and draw consultation fee on monthly basis from that company? Any regulatory conditions imposed Under Managerial Remuneration or other Provisions of the NEW COMPANIES ACT 2013 or Under Professional Ethics Code of the ICAI โin this situation?

Thanks Nikhil for giving your input. It would be helpful if you could please clarify with direct sections from the New Companies Act or CA Professional Code. Because in case of PUBLIC limited Companies, there was a proviso to section 309(1) of old companies Act which allowed payment to professionals and Section 309(4) allowed payment on the basis of monthly, quarterly or yearly basis. However these sections were not applicable to private limited companies. I want the clarity on the topic under new Companies Act 2013 and Professional Code with provisions....Thanks!
