Calculation of Effective Capital for Managerial Remuneration

In case, in any financial year, a company has no profits or its profits are inadequate to pay remuneration to managerial personnel (viz. managing director, whole-time director, manager), the company can pay remuneration within the limits given in Section II of Part II of the Schedule V of the Companies Act, 2013.

These limits of yearly remuneration payable to the managerial personnel is based on the sum of the effective capital of a company.

The meaning of the term "Effective Capital" is provided in the Explanation I under Part II of the Schedule V of the Companies Act, 2013.

    1. Current liabilities have no role to play in it. As per the meaning of Effective capital given under Sch V of Companies Act - whatever heads are required to be considered for the calculation seems to be mentioned above.

      Current liabilities are taken into account for calculation of Working capital (not effective capital).
