Service Tax is applicable on your transactions since service is rendered in India. In case of services rendered to the overseas parties, the service tax is payable by the service provider under RCM. There is no exemption or abatement on the services rendered and hence the rate of service tax is 14.5% (15% from 1st June 2016). The service tax may be recovered from the foreign party.

RCM means reverse charge mechanism . you being service provider no RCM applicable here you have to pay service tax as service provider. RCM applicable only to service receiver.
