22 November 2013 If no service is rendered by service provider, there is no requirement to file ST-3 Returns, as he is not liable to pay any service tax and even not required to opt for VCES.

22 November 2013 rule 7C of the Service Tax Rules provides for waiver of penalty in deserving cases where return has not been filed and, in such cases, the assessee may seek relief under rule 7C.
