Late fee for Service tax return

This query is : Resolved 

23 December 2010 Dear experts,

Please tell me that is it compulsory to pay late fees for Late filing of service tax return ?

or late fees can be paid only if department send the notice to pay the late fees ?

Is it a fees or penalty ?

e.g. If six monthly return for six months ending 30.09.2010 is filed on 31.12.2010 then is it compulsory to pay the late fees of Rs.2000/- ?

23 December 2010 anwar shaikh and all please noted that:-

yes,compulsory... it is penalty fee under the section 77 of the act.

Non-filing / delayed filing of returns:
A mandatory penalty has been prescribed under Rule 7C of the Service Tax Rules, 1994, as also an amount not exceeding Five Thousand Rupees could be imposed as penalty under sec 77 of the Act.

we should paid without any notice / order department submit it
