17 July 2011 for nil return, no penalty till 28/02/2011

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

18 July 2011 Yes I agree with Krishna
