The word 'remuneration' must be given its meaning with reference to the context in which the word occurs in the statute. In the Banking Act the word 'remuneration' has been used in the widest sense. In that sense, it undoubtedly includes bonus, Central Bank of India v. Their Workmen, AIR 1960 SC 12: (1960) 1 SCR 200. [Banking Regulation Act, 1949, s. 10(1)(b)(ii)]

The expression 'remuneration' in Article 314 is not used in any limited sense as merely salary. If a person was in receipt of a payment, or in receipt of a percentage, or any kind of payment which would not be actual money payment, the amount he would receive annually in respect of this would be remuneration, Accountant General v. N. Bakshi, AIR 1962 SC 505: (1962) 1 Supp SCR 505.

Means the basic wage or salary, and any additional emoluments whatsoever payable, either in cash or in kind, to a person employed in respect of employment or work done in such employment, if the terms of the contract of employment, express or implied, were fulfilled.
