The provisions are very clear in this aspect, it is basically a commercial decision between you and the consignee.
The provisions states that service tax is to be paid either by the consignor or consignee.
Since the Freight is not recovered from the consignee and he is paying the freight, he is liable to pay service tax
If the consignee does not pay then you as consignor are liable to pay

The provision talks of paid by the consignor/ consignee or on his behalf. In this transaction, the consignor is required to pay but asks the consignee to pay on his behalf.
The ST is liable to be paid by the consignor in my view. In his books also the consignor will book sales of 725,000 and freight of Rs.3000/- as expense. In the consignees books the frieght will be a set off account with balance = 0.
