Specified professionals like advocates, architects, CA/CS/CWAs continue to have to pay on receipt basis.

For the balance the POT rules can apply from 1.7.2011. One has an option of going in from 1.4.2011 if they so choose. Large companies may not be interested in having 2 methods within the year and they may choose to do go for it from 1.4.2011.
