Online filing and rate of service tax

I HAVE TWO QUESTIONS, REGARDING ONLINE EFILING OF SERVICE TAX RETURN AND CHANGE OF RATE OF SERVICE TAX.

1) FROM WHICH PERIOD THE ONLINE FILING IF SERVICE TAX WAS MADE COMPULSORY ?

2) WHEN DID THE CHANGE OF RATE OF SERVICE TAX, FROM 10% TO 12%, COME INTO EFFECT ?

3) WHAT WAS THE PENALTY RATE BEFORE F.Y. 2012-13 FOR NON FILING OF SERVICE TAX RETURN ?
