16 September 2009 From the facts, it appears that, the amount received towards service tax is Rs. 100/- as against Rs. 200/- billed. Further the balance Rs. 100/- is not recoverable.

One of the possible solution is :

1) Write off the amount not collected on 31.03.09
2) Adjust Rs. 30/- against Cenvat
3) Show the balance liability of Rs. 70/- in B/S
