The Service Tax needs to be paid on Accrual basis that on raising of invoice or receipt of advance which ever is earlier. So pay Service Tax on Rs 100000/-.
The exception is that where value of taxable services in previous year were less than Rs 50 lakhs, service tax can be paid on receipt basis (i.e. cash basis) instead of accrual basis.
