15 January 2010 filing of ST-3 is mandatory? when taxable service is below the limit.and is there any way avoid penalty.

15 January 2010 yes it is mandatory to file ST - 3 even NIL.

If return late filed then penalty applicable as per circular no. 97/3/2/2007

15 January 2010 See also proviso to rule 7C of the Service tax Rules,1994 reproduced below:-
Provided also that where the gross amount of service tax payable is nil, the Central Excise officer may, on being satisfied that there is sufficient reason for not filing the return, reduce or waive the penalty.
