you need to pay service tax only on commercial property rent

in another case we have the rental income on residential property of Rs 12 lacs I believe for this no need to pay tax. Because of Residential property there is no service tax it

Exactly! Here's the clear picture regarding service tax on rental income (as per the pre-GST rules):
* **Commercial Property Rent:** If the **annual rent from commercial property exceeds ₹10 lakhs**, service tax is applicable on the entire commercial rent amount.
* **Residential Property Rent:** No service tax is applicable on rent received from **residential properties**, regardless of the amount.
So in your cases:
* For **₹11 lakhs from commercial property + ₹4 lakhs from residential**, service tax applies only on ₹11 lakhs (commercial rent), not on residential.
* For **₹12 lakhs from residential property only**, no service tax is applicable.
Note: This was the rule before GST came into effect from July 2017. After GST, the taxation on renting services has changed and depends on specific categories.
