It is better to issue invoice on or after 1.4.2015 and to also take payment on or after 1.4.2015 due to the following two situations for service provider.
1) If invoice is issued within 30 days of completion of service: In our case if we issue invoice within 30 days of completion of service i.e. on or after 1.4.2015, point of taxation shall be date of invoice or date of payment whichever is earlier. Finally, point of taxation will be on or after 1.4.2015, so, the service receiver will be liable to pay 100% service tax under reverse charge mechanism.
2)If invoice is not issued within 30 days of completion of service: In our case, if we issue invoice after 30 days of completion of service i.e on or after 1.4.2015, point of taxation will be the date of completion or the date of payment whichever is earlier. So, we will be liable to pay 25% of service tax considering the date of completion as per Rule 3 of POT Rules. But if the client makes payment on or after 1.4.2015 then Rule 7 of POT Rules will override Rule 3 and service receiver will be liabile to pay 100% service tax under reverse charge mechanism.
