In case of service tax payable in excess of Rs.10.00 Lakhs and above it is mandatory that it has to be remitted through internet banking furnishing the PAN details

1. Have u exceeded the limit of 10 lacs?
2. If u have not paid service tax to the govt. exchequer but have collected the same then u can be held liable to pay interest on that tax, penalty that shall not be less than Rs.200 per day for such failure or 2% of such tax, which ever is higher. (Section 75 & 76). It is to be noted that total penalty payable should at max be equal to the service tax not paid.

You have to pay the service tax on the entire amount received by you if exceeds rs. 10.00 lacs. The service tax is payable on the entire amount less Rs. 10.00 lacs less input credit. You have to include the details of december. Please note that you have to pay the service tax on the entire amount received but not on the amount billed.
