The consensus, supported by recent GST Council recommendations, is that GST is generally not applicable in this scenario. Services provided by a director in their personal capacity, such as renting out property, are not taxable under RCM. Only services provided by a director in their official capacity as a director are subject to RCM.

Hello pls tell where it's written?

Director is renting Business premises as a land lord not as a Director.  Hence there is no GST payable under RCM. If he is registered under GST Act, he has to pay GST on the rent collected along with GST.

To under stand this various GST provisions, Notifications has to be studied. 

In some countries, when a private company pays rent to a director who owns the business premise, it may be subject to the Goods and Services Tax (GST) under the Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM). RCM is a mechanism where the liability to pay GST is shifted from the supplier to the recipient of goods or services.

Under RCM, the recipient of the service (in this case, the private company) is required to calculate and pay the GST on behalf of the supplier (the director). This is different from the usual scenario where the supplier collects and pays the GST.
