YES SERVICE TAX IS CHARGABLE.
As a society get registered separately and a different person in eyes of law, hence even if providing service to its member, now taxable under new service tax regime.
Now as per 25/2012 notification
point No. 28: if any service provided is exempt then in that case there is no tax liability.
hence Your society are collecting it correctly,
also they can claim the credit of service tax paid to the security service provider etc. hence the net liability will be reduced and therefore they should give credit of that amount to your respective accounts.
