Companies Act, 1956
Sec 311 - Increase in remuneration of managing
director on re-appointment or appointment after Act to require Government
sanction.
In the case of a public company, or a private
company which is a subsidiary of a public company, if the terms of any
re-appointment or appointment of a managing or whole-time director, made after
the commencement of this Act, purport to increase or have the effect of
increasing, whether directly or indirectly, the remuneration which the managing
or whole-time director or the previous managing or whole-time director, as the
case may be, was receiving immediately before such re-appointment or
appointment, the re-appointment or appointment shall not have any effect
(a) in cases where Schedule XIII is
applicable, unless such increase is in accordance with the conditions specified
in that Schedule; and
(b) in any other case, unless it is approved
by the Central Government;
and shall become void if, and in so far as, it
is disapproved by that Government.
