Hi Srini,
Export of Service Rule, 2005
Rule 3, Sub Rule 2
The provision of any taxable service specified in sub-rule (1) shall be treated as export of service when the following conditions are satisfied, namely:-
1.such service is provided from India and used outside India; and
2. payment for such service [x x x] 3 is received by the service provider in convertible foreign exchange
Rule 4
Any service, which is taxable under clause (105) of section 65 of the Act, may be exported without payment of service tax.
Conculsion
So he need not to pay Service Tax.
