HUL in pink of health- Senior management get 3-5 crore bonus


HUL executives get 70-100% bonuses of annual pay as co outperforms in tough economy


MUMBAI: Hindustan Unilever managers this year have taken home bonus payouts about three times the normal, as the company met its internal targets and outperformed the market in a tough economy.
Some executives at the country's top consumer goods maker have been paid over 70% and even 100% of their regular annual remuneration package as performance bonus after its Anglo-Dutch parent Unilever allocated a disproportionately high percentage of variable pay for 2012-13 to South Asia, three senior HUL officials told ET.
 
The payout in a normal year averages 15-20%, they said, adding that internally it is seen as the best in 15-20 years.
The payout is different at various levels in the organisation, with the top level getting the best deal. Bonuses at level 5, which includes HUL MD Nitin Paranjpe, were estimated at 7-10 crore this year while those at work level 4, or those in management positions, took home an average 3-5 crore, officials said.
Both HUL, Unilever Did Well
Managers at work level 3 got around 50 lakh each, according to rough estimates.


The work levels are further categorised into 4A, 4B, 3A, 3C etc. The bonus payouts differ according to seniority and grades at various roles, officials said.
This year, the company is expected to shell out more than double of last year on bonus payouts. Some 5,500 employees will benefit, officials added.

How to use home loans most effectively for tax benefits

1) Deduction on interest: If you are paying EMIs for a home loan you took to buy a house, the interest component in the EMI can be claimed as deduction. You must be both an owner and a co-borrower (in the loan) to claim tax benefits. This deduction can be claimed starting the year in which the construction of the house is completed. Suppose the construction of your house was completed on August 30, 2014, you can claim deduction for interest for the entire 12 months in financial year 2014-15. So every year a maximum of Rs. 2 lakh can be claimed for a house that you use for your own residence. If your house is rented, the entire interest for the year can be claimed as deduction. The interest payments for the year shall result in a loss under the head 'income from house property'. This loss can be adjusted against in the same year against other heads of income in your income tax return including salary.

Intellectual battle against ISIS as important as Military: Sheikh Makhtoum of Dubai

Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, VP and prime minister of the UAE, ruler of Dubai If we are to prevent ISIS from teaching us this lesson the hard way, we must acknowledge that we cannot extinguish the fires of fanaticism by force alone. The world must unite behind a holistic drive to discredit the ideology that gives extremists their power, and to restore hope and dignity to those whom they would recruit. ISIS certainly can – and will – be defeated militarily by the international coalition that is now assembling and which the UAE is actively supporting. But military containment is only a partial solution. Lasting peace requires three other ingredients: winning the battle of ideas; upgrading weak governance; and ...
