Yes, you will have to pay service tax on Reverse charge basis as per Rule (2) (1) (d) (iv) of Service Tax Rules, 1994 as amended. You will be required to apply for Registration with Service Tax Department & pay Tax accordingly.
To know whether service received comes under the category of Taxable Service, you may refer Taxation of Services (Provided from Outside India and Received in India) Rules, 2006. the link is given below:
