As i think the rent received by trust is for the earning profit it is not a charitable activity it is a business activity and it amounts to earning profit so it will come under service tax provision.

Hi,
In my opinion renting of property to Income tax office is not advancement of any object of general public. It is not for benefit/welfare of public. also Income tax department does not covered under Government or Government authority, as there is specific definition of Government authority under mega exemption notification as as per that there are specific function to be carried out by authority to become government authority for mega exemption purposes.
It need a details analysis and discussion, so please consult to your service tax consultant for better clarity.
