Pursuant to this amendment, no approval of Central Government will be required by the listed companies and their subsidiary companies, which are not having profits or having inadequate profits for payment of remunerations exceeding Rs. 4 lakh p.m., if the managerial person:-

(a) is not having any direct or indirect interest in the capital of the company or its holding company or through any other statutory structures at any time during last two years before or on the date of appointment and

(b) is having a graduate level qualification with expert and specialized knowledge in the field of his profession.

The other general conditions specified in para (c) of Section II of Part II of Schedule XIII to the Act shall continue to be complied with.

At present, listed companies and their subsidiaries companies, which are not having profits or having inadequate profits, have to come to the Central Government for seeking approval for payment of remunerations exceeding Rs. 4 lakh p.m. even to professional managerial person, who has no interest in the capital or any relation with the directors of the company.
