If you read the judgment referred to in this comment, Ashwath's pay in FY 2008-09 was around 3cr: "THE ASSESSEE HAS BEEN EQUITY PARTNER WITH LEGAL FIRM M /S. AMARCHAND MANGALDAS & SURESH A. SHROFF & CO. WITH EFFECT FROM 1ST OCTOBER 2008. THE ASSESSEE HAS RECEIVED SHARE IN PROFIT OF RS.57 54 075/- AND FURTHER RECEIVED RS.68 57 206/- AS PARTNERS SALARY FROM TH E SAME FIRM AND PROFESSIONAL FEES OF RS.1 55 34 998/-"
So reasonable to assume that senior partners like him are easily earning around or more than 6-8 cr now.
