Hi Khushboo,
I would like to draw your kind attention towards proviso to Section 309(1) which reads as follows:
“Provided that any remuneration for services rendered by any such director in any other capacity shall not be so included if –
(a) the services rendered are of a professional nature, and
(b) in the opinion of the Central Government, the director possesses the requisite qualifications for the practice of, the profession]. “
Thus on the basis of above provision and in your case such payment as royalty shall not be treated as remuneration to director if and only if such the 2 conditions mentioned above fulfill simultaneously.
In proviso to Section 309(1) above you have to file application to CG in order to obtain CG approval.
Best Regards
