If you receive commission in foreign remittance, then, it will amount to export of services.  Yes, you would have to get yourself registered with Service Tax Department.

Since, such transactions would be termed as export of services, you will be not liable to pay service tax on such activities.

Further, you may seek refund on the input services after following prescribed procedures.
