In the past monetary year, he drew a Rs 15 crore pay from the organization – equivalent to in the past 11 years.

Ambani has kept compensation, perquisites, recompenses and commission together at Rs 15 crore since 2008-09, swearing off over Rs 24 crore for each annum.

“Considering the Covid-19 episode in India, which has claimed a colossal cost for the cultural, monetary and mechanical soundness of the country, Mukesh D. Ambani, the administrator and overseeing chief, has intentionally chosen to forego his compensation,” the organization had said in June a year ago.

The compensation of his cousins Nikhil and Hital Meswani stayed unaltered at Rs 24 crore yet this time it included Rs 17.28 crore commission.

Leader Directors P M S Prasad and Pawan Kumar Kapil saw their compensation go up after they got execution connected motivating forces for a very long time.

While Prasad drew Rs 11.99 crore in 2020-21, up from Rs 11.15 crore in the earlier year, Kapil got Rs 4.24 crore as against Rs 4.04 crore in 2019-20.

The installment of Prasad and Kapil included “execution connected motivating forces for FY 2019-20 and FY 2020-21,” the yearly report said.

Ambani’s better half Nita, a non-leader chief on the organization’s board, procured Rs 8 lakh sitting charge and another Rs 1.65 crore commission for the year.

Aside from Ambani, the RIL load up has Meswani siblings, Prasad and Kapil as wholetime chiefs.

Other than Nita Ambani, other non-leader chiefs incorporate Yogendra P Trivedi, Dipak C Jain, Raghunath A Mashelkar, Adil Zainulbhai, Raminder Singh Gujral, Shumeet Banerji, previous SBI administrator Arundhati Bhattacharya and previous CVC K V Chowdary.

All autonomous chiefs got a Rs 1.65 crore commission for the year other than a sitting expense of up to Rs 36 lakh.
