After making payment under partial reverse charge.

AI Summary

Service tax credit must be availed only after payment under partial reverse charge, enabling input tax credit post-payment.
Credit for services under a partial reverse charge is claimable only after the recipient makes the payment required under the partial reverse charge provision; an invoice alone does not permit availing the service tax credit until the reverse charge portion has been discharged by the recipient.
