Service Tax Exemption for Teaching?

[Lokesh Khetan]

I run a proprietorship company which will be liable to pay service tax in the coming financial year. We are already registered under ST.

I also am employed on a contractual basis as visiting faculty for a UGC recognised professional college, DAIICT, Gandhinagar (www.daiict.ac.in)

Am I liable to pay service tax on my income from teaching or is this exempt?
