In case sub-letting is done for non residential activities, it is taxable. Further, in such case both the parties are liable to pay service tax.

Dear Mr. Gupta In ur reply u r of the opinion that both the party will be liable to service Tax. But as per clause (d) explanation 1 to Section 65 (105)(zzzz), property used solely for residence and for hotel, boarding house etc are not covered. Can u please clarify a little more. Best Regards

From the query, it appears that residential property is letout for non-residential purposes. Indeed, if the same is let out for residential purpose, no ST is payable.
