may be this is just lintel beam not the structure beam, alto there is steel bar but the shear links spacing is >1m rclxub.gif , may be design by some renovation engineer whistling.gif

pillar can be removed, but must make sure first the beam strong enuf and can support the loads

the load from roof & the 1st floor slab & wall all transfer to the column, think twice if just want to remove it just like that sweat.gif sweat.gif

the proper way is consult a structure engineer, build/ enlarge the beam to transfer the load to nearest column --> foundation , if the column/ foundation not strong enough, build/ enlarge the column/ foundation
