27 March 2013 Assuming that no payment shall be received(not even advance) in March'13, for the service so provided, then the service tax liability shall arise in april'13(i.e. by 5th/6th May'13)but It should be ensured, that the invoice is issued within 30 days of date of completion of service.
In case th invoice is issued in April'13 (but after 30 days of date of completion of service), then the Liability shall arise in the month of March'13 only.
