08 October 2011 Mere reminder of payment does not represent the service provided,

to get liable for service tax payment, agreement wise service provided or not / payment received or not, is to be confirmed on any specific date.

08 October 2011 intimation is alike "proforma invoice" which has no legal validity unless the final invoice is raised, so date of actual payment is to be considered.

however if within the period of notice the work is likely to be completed against the said intimation, service tax liability get stand.
