Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the applicability of Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM) on payments made to company directors. While RCM generally doesn't apply to salary or bonuses paid to whole-time directors, it is applicable to other amounts paid to non-executive, non-whole-time, and independent directors. The applicable rate is 18% GST, as confirmed by recent CBIC circulars.

To an employee?

No, it is not applicable.

To director

For what purpose if the amount paid to director? Bonus?

Bonus and salary are not charged under RCM if they are whole time directors.

Non executive, non whole time directors and outside directors are not employees of the company. So they will fall under RCM for salary, other charges received by them.

 

As per the Circular 140/10/2020 GST , dated 10/6/2020 Yes RCM is applicable @ 18% .

Bonus is the part of Salary So any bonus or salary is paid ,to whole time director  No RCM is applicable.(As per Schedule III) 

Salary attracts tds under section 192B and if the whole time director works under contract of providing professional services tds under 194J will be applicable since the salary here is given under employment so no gst is to be paid under rcm

whereas in case of independent directors it is applicable
Any amount (which is not part of CTC)paid to director of a company, in that case, company shall be liable to pay GST under RCM. Recently circular issued by CBIC clarifies this position.
Yes it is true
