Pay Packets of India Inc's Top CEOs

Vivek Sinha, ET Bureau

CEOs across much of India Inc took home 27% higher salaries last year while handing out pink slips to employees at a time when their companies' net profits fell by almost a third. A slump in demand triggered by the global economic downturn saw a large number of Indian companies resorting to pink slips and salary cuts to cut costs.

An ET study surveyed the salaries of 50 CEOs, who got compensations in excess of Rs 1 crore in fiscal 2008, of publicly-listed companies that have filed their annual reports containing details of management remuneration. This is a small sample considering that over 500 such CEOs took home croreplus salaries in fiscal 2007, but it gives early trends.

The total pay packet of CEOs include salary, sitting fees as directors, commissions and certain other perks but excludes stock options and other allowances such as the gratuity.
