1st you bifurcate your rent received on commercial & residential. Service tax applicable only on Commercial Rent ie 6,12,500/- (50%) it's below 10lacs hence no liability of service tax

No service tax on renting of residential property... You have to charge service tax when the limit crosses 10 lacs. and that too on the income above 10 lacs only.... This is applicable if commercial rent income exceeds 10 lacs....And also the charges you collect from the tenants regarding the charges and taxes should not have a profit element. It has to be direct reimbursement only. You jst take from tenant and give to the GOvt.
