Generally the provision of section 314(1A) deal with such matter but if director is appointed at such place then no need to comply under section 314(1B). Because it is silent about a director hold office with a remuneration exceeding 3 Lakhs per month.

Any office has becomes office of profit under section 314 when a Director obtains anything over and above to which he is entitled as a Director by way of salary, fee, perquisites, commission or otherwise.
Being director if he gets anything it is his remuneration and the provisions of remuneration would apply and not section 314.
