Yes, Service tax under RCM will be applicable

Reverse Charge is applicable on legal services provided by an advocate or firm of advocates to "Business Entity".

Business Entity is defined under section 65B(17) of the Finance Act, 1991, which means any person ordinarily carrying out any activity relating to industry, commerce or any other business or profession.

If STPI qualifies the definition of Business Entity then service tax will be payable under reverse charge otherwise not.
