We have sent our material for the job work to X party. X party have done the job work and resent to us. X party have raised an invoice in favor of our company name and not charged any kind of service tax as party is also not registered in Service Tax.
My Query is
Whether we are responsible for the service tax payment if the job worker has not paid the service tax? If yes, then how much? Whether we have to pay service tax with interest ?

if the activity you carry out amounts to manufacture, the same falls within the scope of the negative list of services, and so, you need not pay service tax.

You are not responsible for the payment of jobwork charge. Carrying out an intermediate production process as job work is exempt from service tax.
