The CESTAT allowed the appeal, holding that payments made to a full-time director constitute salary and are not subject to service tax under Management Consultancy Service. The appellant failed to produce documentary evidence such as salary slips or Form-16 to conclusively prove the nature of payment; however, reliance was placed on established precedent that remuneration to whole-time directors is exempt from service tax due to the employer-employee relationship.

Consequently, the demand of service tax on these payments was set aside.
