THANKS BUT MY SECOND QUESTION IS STILL PENDING- PENALTY?
OFFICESELVA (Service) 06 January 2009
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
