Late payment of service tax cannot be a procedural lapse.
If you are talking about late fee of Rs.2000/- it is mandatory for late filing of ST3 return.
On the other hand, if a show cause notice has been received seeking to impose pernalty under Section 77, state the reasons for late filing of ST3 return in the reply and hope for the best.
