Please Advise regarding the claimability/allowability of Amnesty Scheme for Non filing of Service Tax Returns and if the scheme is applicable then what is the amount of Penalty Abatement(Liability for Non Filing ST Returns is Rs.20000 as we all know)

Thanks in Advance for your Valuable Knowledge and Suggestion.

Please Do Reply as there is an ambiguity in case of availing the Scheme in case of Non filing of Returns/applicability of amnesty to ST Returns and the Amount of Amnesty.

23 August 2013 VCES is eligible for non filers of ST3 Returns also for the period from 1st Oct 2007 to 31/12/2012. There will be no penalty for non-filers and only tax is payable with a condition that no notice/scn is pending as on 1st march 2013.

23 August 2013 In my opinion if tax is already paid the VCES will not be applicable.

For non filing of return is Rs. 2000.00 and not 20000/-
