Basically we are exporters and we dont require service tax number. Inadvertently I have obtained service tax number. 15 years have passed since I had been issued service tax number. In export business there is no set-off of service tax. I went to service tax department to get it cancelled because we have shut down the export business. Service tax department replied me that you should have NIL returned. Now on account of non-filing of service tax return you will have to pay Rs 20,000/- per return. Yearly it arrives as at Rs 80,000/- and now 15 years have passed total penalty arrives as at Rs 12,00,000/ [ Rupees Twelve Lacs Only ] What to do in this case ? Please guide me
