Whole time director

Though, the provisions of section 269 does not apply to Private Company. However, such private company should appoint him as WTD and pay him remuneration.

Dear Sarika,

First of all you must check his (that Japanese Director) visa status, whether he is on employment visa or on business visa or on tourist visa ?

In case he is on employment visa only then he can take the salary/remuneration otherwise there will be contravention of Visa Rules. Further, as he is working in India solely  with this Company as Director then he must be regarded as Whole Time Director (although provisions with regard to managerial person/remuneration are not applicable to a Private Limited Company, provided the same is not a subsidiary of a Public Limited Company)

Best Regards
