Options:

1. Hold the next payment till you receive the challan

2. Try to get rid of the vendor as it is risky for company to continue in such case.

3. To some extent , You can justify any assessing officer for taking credit as you have already paid the ST amount to the vendor.

This is the reason why reverse charge mechanism came into picture last year.

In case of Manpower supply service, if the service receiver is a body corporate and the service provider is an Individual, proprietorship firm, HUF, partnership firm (including LLP), or AOP, then the liability to pay 75% of service tax is that of the service receiver under reverse charge mechanism vide not. no 30/2012. So, if this is the case, pay only 25% of ST to the labour contractor, and directly deposit 75% of ST to the exchequer after payment to of bill to the service provider (Rule 7 of POTR, 11)

If the labour contractor is not registered under the Act, then don't pay any tax to him.
