08 December 2008 A default is default whether grave or not. As a registered person you have undertaken to report the activities required under a statute, if you are not reporting for bona fide reason, inform that to the Authorities, they will consider it. If you are your self deciding that you need not ifle a return because of nil activity, then you are committing a default. But can refer to Hindustan Steel case which is decision given by constitutional bench.

08 December 2008 For waiver of penalty for non filing of service tax nil return 3rd proviso to rule 7C of the service tax rules, 1994 will give you the answer.
