It depends on the terms of contract. If the contract is exclusive of service tax then advisable to pay on 20 lacs. Because when you raise the final invoice e it would be difficult to claim diff. Service taxand you may land up paying interest. You can raise the invoice. Charging the service tax as you need to raise invoice in any case as per point of taxation rules within 14 days of occureence of the event.being provision of service or receiving of payment. I find this as a resolution to your inquiry.

If total bill is inclusive then you can opt to pay service tax on 1779993 against receipt of 20,00,000 The next invoice that you raise for balance consideration of 500,000 your service tax liability would be on 448,998 being 55,002. Your total service tax liability of Rs. 220007+55002 gets rightfully discharged
