22 October 2010 Non-payment or delayed payment of service tax attracts penalty u/s 76 -Rs.200/-per day or 2% of such tax per month which ever is higher.

This demand is payable only if raised by the department.

22 October 2010 yes u are correct in the above interpretation.

Also if a reasonable cause is shown then the penalty cannot be levied by the department.
