If the service is made in India, the same is chargable to service tax. If the service is made out of India and the money is received in foreign currency and all the export rules has been followed, then its exempt from service tax.
As regards aplicability of VAT is concerned, the basic question is to be decided is- whether one is selling his software or not? If he is not selling the same and developing the same exclusively for the client, I think, it will be out of the purview of VAT.
