A service is completed on 31st March 2012. Invoice is raised within 14 days. For eg. on 3rd February 2012. When will be the due date for payment of service tax? Will it be 5th March? Will i get a period of one month to pay the service tax in such case?

Here ,invoice issued before the completion of service. Such a contingency is not envisaged in the Point of taxation Rules,2011. So, seems ,the probable date of remittance is 5th March, if the party is a corporate assessee, since dual benefit can't be enjoyed.
