What will be the procedure for the above situations?
2. If that son is already appointed as Director but now to be designated as Executive Director with remuneration of Rs. 1,00,000. What will be its procedure? Thanks.
As per section 314(3), a director is said to be holding 'Office or Place of Profit' in a company, if he obtains from the company in addition to the remuneration to which he is entitled as a director any salary, fees, commission or any other perquisites while holding the office of a director. An individual other than a director or any firm, private company or body corporate is said to be holding office or place of profit in a company, if they obtain from the company, by way of remuneration, any salary, fees, commission or any other perquisites while holding the office or place of profit in the company.
Your son is not holding any office of place of profit, he only hold the position of director as executive director, so the provision f section 314 is not apply.
