Comparing UTI Asset Management Company Limited's CEO Compensation With The Industry

At the time of writing, our data shows that UTI Asset Management Company Limited has a market capitalization of ₹181b, and reported total annual CEO compensation of ₹141m for the year to March 2025. Notably, that's an increase of 36% over the year before. While this analysis focuses on total compensation, it's worth acknowledging that the salary portion is lower, valued at ₹42m.

On comparing similar companies from the Indian Capital Markets industry with market caps ranging from ₹86b to ₹277b, we found that the median CEO total compensation was ₹83m. This suggests that Imtaiyazur Rahman is paid more than the median for the industry. Moreover, Imtaiyazur Rahman also holds ₹168m worth of UTI Asset Management stock directly under their own name, which reveals to us that they have a significant personal stake in the company.

Speaking on an industry level, all of total compensation represents salary, while non-salary remuneration is completely ignored. UTI Asset Management pays a modest slice of remuneration through salary, as compared to the broader industry. If total compensation is slanted towards non-salary benefits, it indicates that CEO pay is linked to company performance.
