20000 penalty applicable for returns for period after April 2011

Late Fee per ST-3 Return, for delay of 1-15 day Rs. 500, 16-30 day Rs. 1000, then Rs. 100 per day maximum upto Rs. 2,000 (upto H.Y.E. 31.03.2011) and form H.Y.E. SEP-2011 onwards Rs. 20,000. In case of NIL Return, Superintendent may waive Late Fee under Rule 7(c) of STR'1994.

Dear Sir,

Thanks for the prompt response.But is in the software it is taking as Rs 20000/- from FY 2008-09 which is taking retrospective effect.and In case of NIL return as informed that the penalty can be waived off by the Superintendent ,do we need to take the approval from the Superintendent  pior to upload of ST3 or we can file the return without paying the penalty of Rs 20000/- ?

 

Thanks 

Regards,

Ankit 

You simpaly file all the ST-3 Returns and better to pay Late Fee where S.TAx liability occures and for NIL ST-3 Return don't pay late Fee and wait for action from department
