Dear Ms Nisha,
The term "inadequate profit" has not been defined in the Companies Act, 1956 for the purpose of managerial remuneration, however in my opinion and as per my interpretation, the profits of any company (Public Co. and Subsidiary of a Public Co.) may be termed as inadequate in case the proposed remuneration to the managerial personnel exceeds the limit of 5%/10%/11% (as the case may be with regard to Section 309 of Cos Act) of the profits as per Section 198.
Best Regards
CS Ashwini Kumar
