bill is valid, irrespective of fact that service tax is charged or not, however unless service tax component is mentioned seperately, the service receipent can not take input credit on it.

So as to take input credit the service tax amount and service tax number should be mentioned in the bill.

Bill is valid.
For the purpose of cenvat credit it is not valid as service tax amount and service tax number is mandatory information to available on the Invoice for taking cenvat credit.

If he is charging service tax in bill then it should be shown seperately in bill along with its service tax registration no. Otherwise Cenvat will not be available..

Apart from CENVAT Credit issue, I suggest you verify if the agency is registered for service tax. Ask for the Service Tax Number and verify in this location.
