We are a security agency & we have not yet filed a service tax return for Q1 because of lack of knowledge regarding changes in due dates of filing of returns.
Please let us know, do we need to pay penalty for the delay in filing of 1st quarter return?

The service tax return for Qtr 1 has to be filed by 25-Nov-2012, vide notification no. 47/2012 issued by CBEC. Hence, no penalty shall arise in your case.
