Is it mandatory under act that the service receiver has to pay the required % partial reverse charge mechanism? What if the service provider collects 12.36 % ST along with the invoice amt and he makes the payment to the government?

Good query. But to avoid unnecessary litigations/audit query, it is advisable to discharge service tax liability as per the provisions laid down in the act, i.e, the percentage of tax liability as service provider and service recipient.
