Parent Company pays rent to the owner of the Premises and he is charing Service Tax correctly.

Premises are shares by some of the group companies and parent company raises debit notes on them for recovery of rent for the preportionate area used by them

Is parent comapny required to charge Service Tax in the debit notes raised on Group companies ?

Please help me in this matter.
