As per service tax act service tax is payable on the receipt basis and not on accrual basis. so in your case you have to pay service tax on the receipt of advance. Because in normal case someone raise the bill he is not required to pay the service tax. He is required to pay service tax on the receipt of payment.

Respected sir thanks for reply sir i want to kindly attract your attention on the point that at the time of receipt of advance service which is to be provided in futur is not taxable so, payment of service tax at the time of receipt does not arise, now question is this before providing service central govt. made such service taxable. i know that service is taxable what is time limit of payment of service tax and under which section and rules this liability created by finance act,1994.
