In the Trade Circular No 52T of 2007 dated 31-7-2007, it had been clarified that where there are no inter state sales in any return period, no return is required to be filed under the CST Act, 1956, provided the return filed under the MVAT Act, 2002 for the same period shows NIL turnover of inter state sales.
To remove the doubts, if any, it is further clarified that this exemption from filing of the CST return is applicable to the CST e returns also, in the situation described above.

Yes, you must submit CST return to CTO, in your case you don't have any cst & branch transaction during the period. so, you can submit Annual CST return (ie., 01/10/2009 to 31/3/2010).

Actually this penalty amount is drop from Rs.10000 to 5000. So, Penalty of Rs.5000 is imposable for non-filing of return, which is to be filed under one-by-six scheme. In other cases, the penalty for late filing is Rs.5,000. Interest is also chargeable for non-filing or late filing. This penalty will also be non-appeal able. This penalty will be in addition to any other penalty which may be imposed under the Act.
