A CA Firm which is located in delhi got audit of banks all over india, it decided to share the works of southern india with a firm in chennai. Both the firms are not related. Whether Chennai CA Firm need to pay service tax on the bill which it raises on Delhi Firm for the services rendered?? If it needs to pay then on what basis?

Since you are paying amount to a firm in chennai, we have to check whether service is applicable for them. ie. whether their turnover is more than 8 Lakhs. Normal rate of tax has to be paid.
However you can set off aginst your payment to service tax dept. as input service.
