Range officer has to ensure about your "no business in past years" if you can submit documentary proof to his satisfaction, he will not initiate any penalty.
visit the R/O and discuss the matter, he may ask you to submit certain documents to ensure that there is no business since the regn. if found true they will not cause hardship.

If half yearly return is not filed, late filing fee can be levied under rule 7C of the Service Tax Rules,1994. But if there is no service tax liability, the service tax officer can waive the late fee.
