You can consider it on the day of deposit of cheque into your bank. Cleared or not will not matter. You can claim the service tax benefit.
You cannot consider by just having with your hand can claim for service tax.

Credit is available after the amount of Bill is paid to the Service Provider.
As far as Service Receiver is concerned, the moment Cheque passes off his hands by handing over or sending under acknowledgement, Service Receiver becomes entitled to claim Credit
