An "executive producer" is someone who is either financing a film, or is representing a studio or party that is financing a film. Films can have multiple backers, and therefore more than one executive producer. Executive producers -- often referred to as "the suits" because of their formal attire -- may not have any movie-making experience at all.
When a studio invests in a motion picture and it assigns an executive to oversee the making of the film, this executive is given the title executive producer. But he or she doesn't have a specific job on the set. Instead her responsibility is to make sure that everyone else is doing their job -- that the project is on schedule and is not over budget. The executive producer protects the studio's investment by overseeing the project.
The executive producer will work closely with the director if any concerns arise. For example, if bad weather holds up filming, or an actor is injured -- if anything at all goes wrong that threatens the picture staying on budget or on schedule -- the executive producer will press for solutions.
Another role of executive producer is to make sure that as the film is being made as planned; they ensure that ad hoc changes do not inherently alter the original project the studio approved.

hope u got point it that raghu is just face of show if u have noticed in season six raghu was promoted to" executive producer " it was shown on behind the season so he never produced the show financially ... and abt falling trp for the show they have enough ability to pull the show without scripting it they r doing it from last seven year..rahgu has done number of shows for mtv ..do u remember mailika aroa and cryus show "love line" which was one of the longest show on mtv ...rahgu was behind the camera during that show...so he will not die if roadies gets stop...he is in this industry around 14 years and abt me yes i know few people from media and entertainment industry as well as from mtv
somebody tried to block me ,..
jo koi bhi sach bolta hai,uska log gala dabane ki koshish karte hain.
anyways
your above explanation ,states only duties of executive producer not the benefits ,it dos'nt state anywhere that executive producer is paid only salary .
and the site you reffered also dint bother to explain coz its common sense
executive producer is also among one of the producers. but he has got additional responsibilies and so coz of the responsibilities he gets salary too , obviously he isnt doing any social work.
even rajeev is also co producer of Roadies, he always comes in special appearance , if we go according to you rajeev gets more than raghu(share in profits) ... and rajeev is boss of raghu .
About the trp thing :-
check out the raghu got warning from MTV post in the forum .you will get the reply that why did raghu do all this .
coz he was under pressure.
