According to rule of Point of Taxation.
You should pay the service tax on Bill Raised or Payment received which ever is earlier.

If you have not issue the invoice and work has been done than after 14 Day ( currently now 30Days) you should have to raise invoice.and pay the tax to govt.

so you should paid this without any delay.

Thanks
