the person making payment towards freight would be liable to pay the service tax, in case the consignor or the consignee of the goods transported is one of the following,-
    (i) Factory registered under or governed by the Factories Act;
    (ii) Company established by or under the Companies Act;
    (iii) Corporation established by or under any law;
    (iv) Society registered under Societies Registration Act or similar law;
    (v) Co-operative society established by or under any law;
    (vi) Dealer of excisable goods, registered under the Central Excise Law; or
    (vii) Any body corporate established, or a partnership firm registered, by or under any law.

 

In your case cooperative society is required to pay service tax
