Applicability of sec 297 to director remuneration

This query is : Resolved 

06 September 2013 If a director of private limited company having paid up capital above 1 crore, is paid consultancy fee then will central government approval be required. circular of MCA 05/06/1975 says it is applicable on supply of service and not on personal service isn't director service personal in nature also also section 309 on director remuneration is not applicable to private company which override sec 297 therefore shouldnt director remuneration be exempt from approval of central government.

06 September 2013 Section 297 does not apply to:

1. Giving or taking loans.
2.Contract in respect of immovable property (as it is not 'good' ).{Letter No. 9/4190-CL-X dated 27.03.1990}.

06 September 2013
The provisions of Companies Act, 1956 and Schedule XIII deal with remuneration of director will not applicable to private limited company. Such provision is applicable only public company and its subsidiary.

The remuneration of directors of the private company is totally governed by their company articles. If the Company’s article permits to pay remuneration you can give remuneration without any restriction. For this you will pass a Board Resolution for payment of remuneration.
