Late submission of service tax notice

Hi,

I have also faced this kind of notice 2 years back.At that time the department alleged that the assessee has not filed returns for 2 continuous years.

On receipt of notice, I drafted a letter addressed to the office from where I have received the notice. I contended that I have been regularly filing the return within due dates. To their convenience, I attached the copies of returns and acknowledgement of said half years and sent the whole bundle through speed post. Keep a copy of speed post receipt if you intend to follow this route.
