As the services have been received from the foreign, reverse charge shall apply and service tax shall be paid by service recipient. Since you have paid the service tax under reverse charge, credit of tax will be allowed. One thing should be noted that credit will be allowed only the part of basic service tax ( i,e 14%) and not of Swatch bharat cess
