Read section 314.

Yes a spouse of director can be a employee in pvt co, bt at the same time ensure the compliance u/s 314 of Co. Act.

Agree with Nidhi............

But there is some limit U/S 314.

According to section 314(1), If any relative of the director take the remuneration in whatever kind i.e. salary, commision etc exceeding Rs.10,000/- p.m.then the Only Special Resolution should be passed.

But According to the section 314(1B), If any relative of Director take remuneration exceeding Rs.20,000/-p.m. then both the Special Resolution and Central Govt. approval is required.

Hello,

 

Sec 314(1)- monetary limits and  approvals

Remuneration up to Rs. 9,999 per month

No approval [Sec 314(1)]

Remuneration Rs.10,000-Rs. 19,999 per month

Approval by special resolution [Sec 314(1) read with Rule 10C(1) of CGGRF]

Remuneration Rs.20,000-Rs. 49,999 per month

Prior approval by special resolution [Sec 314(1B) read with Rule 10C(2) of CGGRF]

Remuneration => Rs.50,000 per month

Prior approval by special resolution + Central Govt approval [Sec 314(1B) read with Rule 10C(2) of CGGRF and Rule 3 of Director's Relatives (Office or Place of Profit) Rules 2003 ]
