Spouse of Mr. A is drawing monthly salary of Rs. 10000/- in the same company.

Can Son of the director Draw Monthly Salary of Rs. 22000/- who is professionally qualified.

I was a bit confused with the reading of Section 314 and its amendment.

20 June 2012 Hi

In case of spouse salary, it will be covered under section 314(1) of the Companies Act, 1956.

As per explanation to section 314(1) fresh approval for higher remuneration is not necessary if appointment with increased remuneration on time scale has already been approved by special resolution.

If you are increasing director remuneration from 10,000 to Rs. 20, 000 it will not covered under section 314. It cover under section 198 of the Companies Act.

In case of son of director, they can draw remuneration with approval by special resolution in accordence with the provision of section 314 (1) of the Companies Act, 1956.
