Dear Sir, I need to file nil service tax return for the 2nd half year of fy 2012-13. During this period assessee has not issued any bill. I have download the excel utitlity of st-3. Now please advise me, to file a nil return, only giving service tax no. and assessee name in last sheet and then clicking on generate xml is sufficient before uploading it on site.
or
I have to fill zero- zero figures in all sheets then click on generate xml button.

It is better to file nil return and have a copy filed, though the recent kolkatta cestat favoured the assessee. It will avoid receiving notice and replying, as long as you hold RC.

Sir, Whether I have to file zero-zero in all sheets of st-3 or leave them blank and fill only service tax no. and name of assessee in st-3 before uploading it.
