No payment of dividend in hard cash is not allowed.
As per section 205(1A) the amount of dividend including Interim dividend shall be deposited in a separate bank account within five days from date of declaration of dividend.
Dividend payable in cash may be paid by cheque or warrant or demand draft or pay order or may be credited to the bank account of the Member in terms of a mandate given by the Member.
The cheque or warrant or demand draft or pay order should be sent to the registered address of the Member and, in the case of joint holders, to the registered address of the person named first in the register of members or to such person or to such address as the Member or the joint holders have directed, in writing.

In normal accounting it should have been accounted for June and therefore it would be said tobe recived in June and payment of St would have tobe made in July by 5th.
As per Rule 6 of Service Tax Rules, 1994, The Service Tax shall be paid to the credit of Central Govt. by the 6th day (e-payment) or 5th day (other modes) immediately following the calendar month in which the payments are received, towards the value of taxable services.
From the above, it is very clear that receipt of payment against the taxable value of services provided / or to be provided is important. The word reaslisation of payment is not mentioned here.
Hence, it would be proper to discharge the service tax liability by these dates, if the payment has been accounted in our books as received in the previous month. Thanks. Sarathy
