Example
Book Profit for Allowable Remuneration: ₹3,99,314 
(After the notional set-off of unabsorbed depreciation of ₹0)

Step-by-Step Remuneration Calculation
1. 90% of the first ₹3,00,000: ₹3,00,000 × 90% = ₹2,70,000
2. 60% of the remaining amount: ₹(3,99,314 - 3,00,000) = ₹99,314
      ₹99,314 × 60% = ₹59,588
Maximum Allowable Remuneration: ₹2,70,000 + ₹59,588 = ₹3,29,588

Disallowed Remuneration Calculation
Total Remuneration Paid: ₹3,99,314
Allowable Remuneration: ₹3,29,588
Disallowed Remuneration (under Section 40(b)): ₹3,99,314 - ₹3,29,588 = ₹69,726
