Dear friends, we have taken service tax number in business auxiliary service. During the year 2011-12, we have not provided any service, but we have paid service tax on various services, my question is this " whether we have to file service tax return on 25/04/2012, whereas we have not provided any service & whether there is provision of carry forward of balance in service tax in yearly basis", please suggest immediately.

Yes you are required to file return even if there is no cenvat credit. Means in case no transaction has taken place you are required to file nil amount return. However in your case, you have to fill cenvat credit detail and same is also required to be filed as per CENVAT credit Rules, 2004.
