22 August 2013 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.

Claim relief in Rule 7C of Service tax rules

Reference : Judgement of M/s.Suchak Marketing Pvt.Ltd. Vs Comm. of Service tax ,Kolkata[2013(6)TMI641]

So you can surrender registeration,,no penalty can be imposed

Thanks & regards
