Service Tax credit cannot be eligible before payment.Only eligible to take credit from paid Bills/invoices. 

Service Tax Credit Shall be taken on the payment basis

Further the payment should have been made on or before the last date i.e on the 30th or 31st of the previous month alone is eligible as credit.
