The document showed that Pallia earned about USD 1.7 million in salary and allowances, about USD 1.7 million as commission/variable pay, about USD 2.8 million classified as 'others', and USD 68,850 as long-term compensation. Rishad Premji and Srinivas Pallia are entitled to a commission at the rate of 0.35 per cent on incremental consolidated net profits of the company over the previous fiscal year, the filing said.
