I woulud like to ask you that if the date of ivoice is of Oct and the same bill is booked in Jan what will be the consequences?

15 June 2013 Please note under reverse charge ,

Service tax is payable by service receiver when actual payment is made to service provider and not on receipt of Invoice from service provider. However, if payment is not made to service provider within 6 months, service tax is anyway payable. Interest is also payable.

So if you have made payment after 6 months then interest will be applicable otherwise no interest will be applicable

Thanks & regards
