26 July 2025 Here’s a quick summary of **Service Tax payment provisions**:

1. **Due Date for Payment:**
Service tax is generally payable **by the 6th of the following month** for the services provided in the previous month. (Sometimes 5th or 6th depending on circulars, but 6th is commonly accepted.)

2. **Monthly Payment:**
Yes, service tax is to be paid **monthly**, i.e., every month for the services provided in the previous month.

3. **Mode of Payment:**
As per Notification No. 9/2014 dated 11 July 2014, service tax payments **must be made electronically** (via internet banking or designated online channels). Physical payments are generally not accepted for service tax.

4. **Quarterly Payment Option:**

* Small service providers with an aggregate service tax liability of up to Rs. 10 lakhs in the previous financial year can opt to pay service tax on a **quarterly basis** instead of monthly.
* But this is subject to fulfilling prescribed conditions and opting in writing with the jurisdictional tax officer.

5. **Late Payment:**
Late payment attracts interest and possibly penalty.

---

**In short:**

* Service tax is **paid monthly by 6th of the next month**.
* Payment must be made **online**.
* Quarterly payment is possible only if eligible.
