Dear Shivam,
The reply depends on how much empowerment HR enjoys. In bigger companies, HR may or may not be empowered. In smaller companies, generally, these decisions are taken by the MD or CEO.
By the way, between the Board of Directors (BoD) and HR, a layer of hierarchy lies called the MD or CEO. Why have you inquired about intimation to the BoD and not someone in between?
Thanks,

Peoples sometimes ask irrelevant questions here that do not have any connection or concern with the applicable laws or rules. Can HR increase the salary without informing the BOD or MD? How can we answer?
Mr. Dinesh has rightly said that it depends on management to management, and no hard and fast rules are framed under any labor laws. He can increase the salary if he is empowered or has to seek permission if he does not have enough liberty to decide the increase.

Sir, I know my question does sound a bit silly, but is an HR responsible for recruiting eligible candidates? So, my question is: who will decide and increase the candidate's salary - the HR (Recruiter) or the MD/CEO?

Dear Shivam,
When a requisition for recruitment is sent to the recruitment section, the HR or the concerned department obviously intimates the salary range within which the job candidate needs to be selected. This range should give a rough idea to the HR or recruiter. In the event that the HR is unable to find the right candidate within the specified salary range, they can escalate the matter to the CEO.
Moving forward, during the recruitment process, HR generally inquires about the expected salary. HR does not determine the salary per se. Therefore, the question of you deciding the salary or "increasing" the salary does not arise.

Sir,
Suppose an HR is going to recruit an Accountant with a salary range of 7K to 10K. My question is whether HR can decide the candidate's salary between 7K to 10K based on the candidate's experience and performance.

Mr. AMTGUP,
The question arises: are you testing the knowledge of the members or posing examination questions to your students? Where is the question of supposition, such as "suppose an HR is going to recruit an Accountant..."? The question of supposition does not arise if there is a real problem, which does not seem to be the case here.
If you are part of the decision-making authorities in HR, you should have referred to the delegated powers conferred to the authorities by the company Board instead of asking such a vague question. However, if you do not hold a position of authority in HR, you should have clarified the purpose behind your question.
Please let me know if you need further assistance.
Thank you.

Hi,
In general, HR cannot increase an employee's salary without informing the top management. HR has to seek approval before taking such action. However, if HR holds full decision-making authority, then only in exceptional circumstances can HR make such changes.
Thank you.
