You need to see Sec 65B(44). Sec 65B (44) contains the definition of service. The definition of service excludes the service provided by employee to the employer and whole time directors, managing directors or executive directors are usually under the employment of the company. Therefore, no service tax if amount paid to them. However, if you pay the amount to other's who are not in the employment of co. then you need to pay the service tax.
There is no notification for the same. You need to refer sec 65B(44) only for interpreting the same.
What Madhukar ji saying is 100% correct.
