Dear Vardan.

As you have Registered for servicetax for the first time and you have no such transaction till March than you hav eto atleat file a NIL return as it is mandatory. The due date for filing Half yearly return of Oct 12 to March  13 would be 25th April 2013. 

Exemption Limit of Rs 10 lakhs is available for Small service  Providers. For Newly registred assessee You dnt have to charge service tax from first bill. For Next year onwards.
