Dear Sathya

There is still something I need to be more clarified :

You have mentioned :

Services Provided Earlier to 1.6.2016:

Examples when old rate would apply

a. Invoice raised before and payment received after 1.6.2016: The invoice raised on 15th May 2016, and service provided in May 2016. Payment received in June 2016. The tax to be paid at 14.50%[old rate].

But as the Rule 5 states that in order to have old rate effective, payment must come on or before 1-6-2016 but as per your reply, old rate will be applicable even if payment is received in June 2016.

Could you please recheck and confirm ?

"Notwithstanding anything contained in these rules, the point of taxation in respect of the persons required to pay tax as recipients of service under the rules made in this regard in respect of services notified under sub-section (2) of section 68 of the Act, shall be the date on which payment is made :

• Provided that, where the payment is not made within a period of six months of the date of invoice, the point of taxation shall be determined as if this rule does not exist:
