1. When Paying Service Tax Online, we are required to select service categories. But the total number of categories that can be selected in the online payment form is restricted to only 6. (Out of which 2 are for education and higher education cess.). So we are providing services for more 6-7 categories, how do we pay service tax separately for each category when there is no option to select more categories?

2. I came to know that service tax is payable even if payment is not received and invoice is generated. But till March 2013, we paid service tax only payment received. And as soon as we came to know about this amendment, we paid the service tax for all invoices created in the month of July. So will I be liable to pay interest or any other penalties?

3. While creating invoices, should we round service tax, education cess and H.S.Cess separately ?

19 July 2013 (1) pay the service tax category wise.
2) yes you have to pay the interest and rate of interest is 18%, so pay. Mendetory penalty is there but if the dept will say then pay.
(3)yes round the service tax.

27 July 2013 Dear Jagdishji, Thanks for your reply. But I am still confused.

1. If we have more than 5 categories, then do we need to pay service tax using multiple challans? (Becasue When paying online we can select only 4 categories) And how about adjustment of input credit..Against which category we need to adjust?

29 July 2013 pay the service tax for 4 categories and then for another category, so there is no need to go for entire categories, regarding input credit you can adjust in any category and then balance you have to pay by cash.
