We have rendered Services outside India. We have raised a bill of Rs. 10 Lacs to the Outside India party. Payment of the same is also received.

Since you have rendered services outside india and if you have received the amount in convertiable foreign exchange and in FIRC if it has been mentioned clearly that the amount is for the Bill for services rendered or reference bill no which matches with your service bill then you need not pay service tax. It will fall under export of services. and this is exempt under the purview of service tax.
