As per Rule 6A of STR, conditions to be satisfied for export of services:

It must be a service as defined u/s 65B(44)
By a service provider located in a taxable territory
To a service receiver outside India
The service is not a service specified in the negative list
The place of provision of service is outside India
Payment for such service is received by the service provider in convertible FE
Service provider & service receiver are not merely establishments of a distinct person by virtue of explanation 3(b) of 65B(44)

If the above conditions are satisfied, it is export and no ST is attracted.
