04 January 2015 if pymnt. is not made within 90 days service tax is to be reversed. However, if payment is made within 6 months, the credit can be availed upon making payment. In case payment is made after 6 months then credt cannot be availed eventhough payment is made.

for example for an invoice dt: 01.01.2015:
From 01.01.15 to 31.03.15 Credit can be availed evenrhough payment is not made.
From 01.04.15 to 30.06.15 credit can be availed only if payment is made.
From 01.07.15 no credit can be availed even if you make payment.

Thanks!
