I want to know from which month GST is payable under RCM if a company pays Remuneration to directors in case of other other than employer - employee relationship.

See RCM is applicable on Director's Remunartion everytime. Since your GST liablity will rise as per TOS under sec 13 of GST act and reference is given below.
Date of payment/
61st day from date of issue of invoice whichever is earlier.

Suppose for April you have made payment on 31.05.2020 and invoice issue 30.04.2020
Now you have to calculate as:
date of payment 31.05.2020
61st day from date of issue of invoice is 30.06.2020
so your TOS is 31.05.2020

In case of supplies in respect of which tax is paid or liable to be paid on reverse charge basis, the time of supply shall be the earlier of the following dates, namely:--

[a] the date of payment as entered in the books of account of the recipient or the date on which the payment is debited in his bank account, whichever is earlier; or

[b] the date immediately following sixty days from the date of issue of invoice or any other document, by whatever name called, in lieu thereof by the supplier
