Singh, who has been instrumental in reviving the fortunes of SpiceJet after taking back the reins in January 2015, had decided not to take salary till the airline turned profitable.
The no-frills carrier has now sought shareholders' nod for giving a remuneration of up to Rs 15 crore every year to Singh subject to various conditions.
Apart from a fixed monthly salary of Rs 50 lakh, he would also be eligible to a variable pay of up to two per cent of the annual profit and the latter component would be a maximum of Rs 9 crore per annum, according to the notice of company's annual general meeting.
The airline will seek shareholders' approval for paying Singh a "remuneration of Rs 50,00,000 per month as fixed pay (with such component as may be agreed and decided by the board)".
