No, any amount received in relation to a service provided, whether at the time of providing service or at any later time, will be considered as part of assessable value & tax will have to be paid accordingly.

Extra amount is liable to service tax if the same has nexus with the service provided.

As per the provisions, gross amount charged ffrom service recipeient is the taxable whether it is single bill or thro extra amount by way of debit note. The extra amount is in relation to the orginal taxable service invoice.

Yes Ritesh,
Please refer to Rule 6(3) of Service Tax Rules, 1994 as amended.
It says that," (3) Where an assessee has paid to the credit of Central Government service tax in respect of a taxable service, which is not so provided by him either wholly or partially for any reason, the assessee may adjust the excess service tax so paid by him (calculated on a pro rata basis) against his service tax liability for the subsequent period, if the assessee has refunded the value of taxable service and the service tax thereon to the person from whom it was received."
Hence, as per above provisions of Service Tax Rules, 1994 you can utilise the service tax so deposited against the service tax liability for the subsequent period.
