No provision under service tax law exist which empowers the receiver of the taxable service to insist upon the provider to produce proof of service tax payment to the Govt.After all it is the obligation of the collector i.e, the service provider to deposit the collected tax into the Govt. account and it is the duty of the service tax department to check the same. Usually the service receivers insist for the same because they take cenvat credit of the duty paid on the services availed and earlier a provision under Rule 9 of CENVAT credit Rules 2004 existed which custed the burden on the person availing the credit to ensure that service tax collected from him by the provider has been deposited duely but this provision no longer exists.
