Section 309 says that any public Company or any pvt Company which is subsidiary of public Company shall not pay more than 5% of net profits of the Company as remuneration to any single whole time or managing director without the approval of Central Government. Hence you will have to take CG approval.

The only exception is that if the director is receiving any amount for rendering service to the Company in any other capacity if such service is of professional nature and in the opinion of CG, the Director posses requisite qualification for the practice of the profession.
