21 July 2025 Great question! Let me clarify:

Under the Companies Act, the remuneration ceiling is applied by each company individually, not on the total amount a director receives from multiple companies.

So, in your example:

ABC Limited has a maximum remuneration limit of ₹50 lakh for its directors based on its effective capital.

PQR Pvt Ltd will have its own separate limit based on its effective capital.

The ₹50 lakh ceiling applies only to the remuneration ABC Limited pays to Mr. A — it does not include salary Mr. A receives from PQR Pvt Ltd.

Summary:
Remuneration limits are per company, not aggregated across all companies where the director works.

So you do not club remuneration from different companies when calculating the maximum permissible remuneration ceiling under the Companies Act.
