Thank U Nikhil Sir.
But in this case The CA(i.e, Director) is not an employee of the company. Than can he also issue a professional invoice by charging service tax thereon.

Dear Rajesh,
The directors except for executive directors are never the employee of the company and the reverse charge mechanism is applied on such directors only. If the Chartered Accountant, the company can use Mumbai CESTAT judgment in the case of Umasons Auto Compo Pvt. Ltd. Vs. Commissioner of Central Excise & Customs, Aurangabad Citation: 2014 - TIOL - 126 - CESTAT - MUM to avoid any tax liability under RCM.
however, I would still suggest that you follow RCM model only

I beg to defer. RCM will apply only with respect to any services provided by the director in his capacity as a director. in such cases the bill will reflect the same. On the other hand if the director is providing any service in his professional capacity as a CA and raises the bill as a CA, then no RCM should not be applied.

Saju, I totally agree friend. But the query is that CA is providing services as a non-executive director. the query doesn't mention "in addition to being a non-executive director." that you need to consider.
Where he is providing any service which is in addition to his directorship, definitely as you said RCM wont apply.
So though you do disagree, but on a ground which is not relevant to the query
