No Sir.... service tax input is allowed only to that extent up to which such tax has actually been paid by the person who availed the service.. Please refer Rule 3 of Cenvat Credit Rules, 2004

Dear Shushanth Singhal,
I totally agree with Amit KK views. One of the criteria for taking service tax credit is that payment should have been made to service provider. In case of part payment, pro-rata credit is available.

Service tax always paid to the department on receipt basis and not the accural basis. what ever the amount received by the assessee from his client as service tax he should pay the same to the department after adjusting the input credit.
so the assessee cannot claim input credit on the unpaid bills
