sir, a client registered under service tax then it is compulsory for him to file nil return of service tax in following years when he will not earn any income/receipt from service providing and what is charges/fees for application of service tax no.

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.
