THANKS BUT MY SECOND QUESTION IS STILL PENDING- PENALTY?

If you pay service tax along with interest mostly department will take lenient view and not impose penalty.  Moreover, penalty can be imposed only after issuing show cause notice and giving an opportunity to present the reasons for delayed payment of service tax.

Mr. Sudhir Halakhandi,

 Interest as already said by Mr. Raghuraj will be charged @ 13%....As far as penalty is concerned, it would be levied equal to higher of following:

Rs. 200 every day during which failure continues

or 2% of Tax per month

for the no. of days for which delay occurs

But such Penalty can't exceed the Tax payable

What is the current interest rate?

The current rate of interets is 18% wef 1.4.2011. and  in case where the value of taxable services provided in a financial year is not more that Rs. 60 lakh the applicable tax rate will be 15% for the number of days of delay.

 

 I agree with  Shikha agarwal  rate  is 18 % okay
