No Need to file Service Tax return (ST-3) when no service is rendered during the relevant period and even not required to opt for VCES,
Citation: M/s Suchak Marketing Pvt Ltd Vs. Comm. of Service Tax, Kolkata [2013 (6) TMI 641]
“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.”

I have explained the procedure to surrender ,in reply to the previous query which may be followed.
Upon online submission to surrender the registration , department may ask to file NIL returns from January 2012 to September 2013 or to file an 'idemnity bond' affirming to indemnity the government to the extent of any revenue loss that may occur due to registration surrendering.
If so, act accordingly.
Further, the department may initiate penaty proceeding for non-filing / delay in filing retuns. If so, seek waiver as per proviso to rule 7C of the Service tax Rules,1994.

I got your PM also. FAQ released by the department clearly says NIL return has to be filed. So department is insisting to file NIL returns irrespective of surrendering or continuing the registration.
Please see the relevant extract given below:-
Question - Is filing of return compulsory even if no taxable service provided or received or no payments received during a period ( a particular half year)?
Answer- Filing of return within the prescribed time limit is compulsory, even if it may be a NIL return,failing which penal action is attracted.
