CESTAT allowed the appeal, setting aside service tax demand and penalties against the company regarding directors' remuneration. The tribunal recognized an employer-employee relationship between the company and its directors, establishing that salary payments subjected to TDS under Income Tax Act are excluded from service tax liability.
