CENVAT credit is allowed at the time of receiving vendor bills, provided that the the bill amount is paid within two months from the date of availing the said credit. Service tax liability is at time of raising invoice and not at the time of receiving payment. Hence, the avenues which you are trying to work out will not be fruitful as if you are caught penalty to the extent of 100% will be imposed upon you. It is advisable for you to pay the interest and tax on the amount of tax defaulted.

there is no provision for waiting. If you wait it will be considered as evasion of tax and all the penal provisions will be applied against you. At the time of raising the final invoice you have to deposit service tax @ 12.36 % on the value of the service, provided that you raise the invoice within 30days of the date of completion of service. If no invoice is raised within the stipulated time, service tax liability will accrue at the date when the service was actually performed. So now the decision is yours.
