what is the penalty for late filing of s.tax return. in which date penalty will be effective of Rs. 20000/- (maximum). It is also applicable for nil return. If yes, is it reasonable and is it also reasonable that penatly has been increased from 2000/- to 20000/-

18 July 2011 Please refer CBEC circular - F. No. 137/58/2007 - CX.4 dated 29/03/2007 in which Board has clarified that where a person who is not liable to pay service tax, he is not required to file service tax return and therefore there is no question of levying penalty.

So far i know this circular is still in force
