(a) Completion of the Service Rendered.
(b) Issue of Tax Invoice - if the invoice is issued within 30 days of completion of service, the date of invoice will be treated as date of service rendered, - else it will be the date of completion of service rendered.
(c) Receipt of the consideration in cash or otherwise.

Therefore the Service Tax Liability arises on the issue of invoice (subject to (b) above) irrespective of whether the amount is received or not.
