09 September 2016 I do not completely agree to above view. For the purpose of Section 188, remuneration to Director can not be a related party transaction.
Section 188 (1) of Companies Act, 2013 has specified transactions on which section 188 applies.
Even though Director is 'Related Party' as per Section 2(76), remuneration to such director can not be 'a related party transaction' for the purpose of Section 188 of Companies Act.

However, it is related party transaction as per AS-18.
