The total managerial remuneration payable by a public company to its directors and manager shall not exceed 11% of net profits of that company, computed in accordance with sections 349 and 350, except that remuneration of the directors shall not be deducted from the gross profits. [section 198(1)]. Ceiling on remuneration payable to MD / WD together shall not exceed 5% if there is only one MD / WD. If there are more than one MD / WD, the remuneration shall not exceed 10% of net profits for all of them together.

No approval or restrictions  in case of private company - No approval of Central Government is necessary for appointment or re-appointment of a ‘Managerial Person’ of a private company which is not a subsidiary of a public company. In such companies, there are no restrictions regarding remuneration or terms and conditions, as per section 269(2).

Broadly, Approval or appointment of Managerial Person from Central Government is necessary only in following cases - (a) He has been convicted under economic offence (b) He has been detained under COFEPOSA (c) His age is over 18 but less than 25 or over 70 years of age and special resolution is not passed in the general meeting. (d) He is non-resident and was not staying in India for at least 12 months prior to his appointment. or (e) Remuneration proposed is more than the amount prescribed in Part II of Schedule XIII. In all other cases, approval of Central Government is not necessary.
