Directors remuneration in form of Professional fee


This query is : Resolved 

Quick Summary
This discussion addresses whether directors of a private limited company can receive consultancy fees instead of salary. While there are generally no direct restrictions on such payments for private limited companies, it's crucial to recognise this as a related party transaction. You'll need to ensure compliance with Section 188 of the Companies Act, which may require passing a specific resolution.
