Dear Sir, I am working in a company and failed to file the S.T III return for the year April 2012 to June 2012. The last date for filing this return is 25.11.2012.The department had postponed the last date for filing to 25.11.2012 because we have to file the return online. I had no knowledge about this e filing and failed to file the return on that time. Later on 05.02.2013 i had filed the return. Now the department has issued notice claiming of Rs.5,200 must be paid within 7 days. Please tel me there is any hope for concession or waiving of the penalty? Can i pay the penalty using CENVAT credit? If i failed to pay the penalty what is the next step by the department?
