There is no provision in Finance Act 1994 (as amended) by which fees for late deposit of ST - 3 Returns can be reduced or waived. The Late Fee is levied for late filing of ST - 3 Return and has no link whatsoever to the payment of duty. Further while interest is chargeable on unpaid service tax, the maximum late fee that can be levied is Rs.20,000/- per return even if it filed say after three years. In the current scenario the interest for late deposit of duty by three years would involve an interest element of 81% [(18% p.a. * 6 months)+(24% p.a. * 6 months)+(30% p.a. for 2 years)].
There is no way the delay can be condoned and lesser late fee paid.
