Pls guide to how to handle this... Whether penalty to be paid?

Thanks in advance...

13 February 2012 1. Half yearly NIL return has to be filed in form ST-3. Now the said return has to be filed online through www.aces.gov.in
2. Delay in filing the return attracts penalty ( late filing fee ) as per rule 7C of the Service tax Rules,1994. However, the officer has power to waive this penalty since there is no tax collection / liability.
