27 May 2010 If Half-yearly Service Tax Return (ST-3 / ST-3A) is filed after the due date of return filing then, the assessee is required to deposit late fees depending upon the period of delay. Such late fee can be a maximum of Rs. 2,000/-  [ Please Refer : Section 70(1), Finance Act, 1994)

However, according to the provisions of Service Tax Rules, 1994 (Rule 7C) some allowance is available to the assessee for if the delay in filing of return is within specified period as shown under. [Please Refer : Rule 7C, Service Tax Rules, 1994]

Delay in Filing of Return After the Due Date Late Fees
First 15 days Rs. 500/-

More than 15 days
but not more than
30 days Rs. 1000/-

More than 30 days Rs.1000 + 100 per day beyond 30 days


The Late Fee in any case Cannot Exceed Rs. 2,000/-
