Assessee can pay service tax on receipt basis if t.o of last year does not exceed rupees fifty lakh. for t.o purpose he can follow cash basis if in earlier year he doesn't have follow the accrual basis for recognition of income and don't want to follow in future. Thus, he can pay s.t on Rs 4 lakh and t.o as the case.
