If the rent exceeds 7 Lac then service tax has to be charged...

The REGULAR BUSINESS is not defined in the finance act or service tax rules....

Let us not confuse in income tax and service tax. On the same amount both the taxes can be charged. In fact it is always charged as one is an indirect tax and other is a direct tax.
