As per Rule of Point of Taxations, 2011, you have to pay the tax as given in the bills.

As per the rule tax is payable earlier of

1. payment received

2. Bills Received.

However if final bills is 100, service tax =100*10.30%/(110.30%). According basic value is Rs. 90.66 and Service Tax is Rs. 9.34.

Dear Mr vartik

As Mr Rachit has suggested,  if you have raised bill on the basis of Rs. 100, you need to pay s tax on 100 only, however if you have received only Rs 100/- only inclusive of service tax you need to correct you bill, but this should be done within the prescribed limit as per the Point of Taxation Rule.
