Yes. The company will have to pay GST under reverse charge on the rent paid.

Assuming that the recipient of 'service by way of renting of residential dwelling' (i.e. Pvt. Ltd. Co.) is registered (or liable to be registered) under GST, such recipient needs to be pay GST under Reverse Charge Basis (irrespective of the fact that said recipient has allowed its director to use subject apartment for his own residential purpose).

These are ex facie views of mine and the same should not be construed as professional advice / suggestion.

Yes liable under RCM

Exemption is available in case of renting to registered person only if the said property is used by such registered person for its personal purpose. i.e. say rented to proprietor who uses the property as his residence (personal purpose)

No doubt, RCM is applicable on this service.
