Rule 4 of potr,2011

Can anyone pls tell that if point of taxation comes at period after changing of rate then new rate shall be applicable and vice versa,Is this statement correct ? or

 What will be the all the conditions for the new rate to be applicable in case rate changes?

(Both questions are in reference with Rule 4 of POTR,2011)

Rule 4 deals with Determination of point of taxation in case of change in effective rate of tax If Taxable service is provided before change in effective rate of service tax then if Invoice is issued and payment received after the change in effective rate then POTR will be date of invoice or date of receipt of payment whichever is earlier. If Invoice is issued before change in effective rate then POTR Date of invoice (provided service is provided before change in rate) If Payment is received before change in effective rate then POTR will be Date of receipt of payment (provided Invoice is issued after change in effective rate)
