03 September 2011 With effect from 01/04/2011 Service Tax is payable on billing basis and not on 'receipt of payment basis' that is on accrual basis and not on cash basis (Option has been granted to assessee to continue payment on receipt basis upto 30/06/2011 if they desire)

This is the major change made in Service Tax effective from 01/04/2011
