09 April 2010 Yes.

16 April 2010 But why we should pay now. Since i have not yet rendered service.

I read as:

If the charges for the service have been received in advance prior to rendering of the services,the tax is payable in proportion to the extent of services rendered by them.

16 April 2010 please refer Service tax definitions.it is mentioned Service provided or to be provided . so in your case it is to be provided
