i want to say in which month company has to pay service tax on such amount
before 5th of the December i.e. in the month of booking or

The One Says:

When is the service rendered? - since invoice must be sent within 14 days of completion of service or payment therefor whichever is earlier. Otherwise from what you say it should be 5th Jan.

Also all GTA services are not taxable and further as you must know the tax is payable by consignor or consignee who pays the freight and only 25% is taxable - not to mention the consignment note requirements.
