No a person can act as a whole time director of only one company and not more than one company. Hence he can draw remuneration from one company only.

please note that any payment beyond sitting fees to directors has to be with the approval of the board.As we are talking about a private company the provisions in the law with regard to payment of managerial remuneration do not apply to a private company.
When any payment is made to a director as remuneration over and above the sitting fees,it tantamounts to the director holding an office of profit u/s 314 of the old Act .this provision is covered under Section 188 of the new Act.please read the expression "Office or place of profit".
Both Section 314 and 188 apply to a private company.No payment of remuneration could be made under Section 314 without approval of the board/shareholder/Central govt depending upon the amount paid.
Similarly u/s 188 read with Rule 15 in chapter XII where remuneration paid exceeds Rs 2.50 lacs per month approval of shareholders will be required.
In my view if Directors are not involved in a full time capacity paying them remuneration on a monthly basis would be irregular in view of what has been stated.
