Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies the maximum sitting fees payable to directors in a private limited company. According to the Companies Act 2013, directors can receive up to £1 lakh per meeting. It's also noted that independent directors should receive at least the same sitting fee as other directors, and executive directors are not typically paid sitting fees.
