Respected sir,

As per information available to us Remuneration paid to director(as salary) is not chargeable under rcm in service tax, reason behind that is its employer-employee relation. Now we just want to know that whether remuneration paid to director(as a salary) is chargeable under rcm or not in service tax. And also provide any case study available for that.
