As the complex is being used for the residential purposes, hence the same would not come within the ambit of Service Tax. Services so rendered would not be taxable under Renting of Immovable Property.

indoor cartering is exempt from service tax.

if your hostel is registered with municipal corporation as commercial and you have a valid licence then you can get it registered with service tax and pay service tax,

for personal properties used as hostel for students, service tax does not attract.
