Service Tax registration was done in the month of November after the 1st Half. The threshold for Service Tax Filing was crossed in the month of October - November & hence we registered in the month of November.
Now do we need to file a NIL Return for the 1st Half, even though we registered Service Tax only in November
If we have to file a NIL Return & If the due date of filing is crossed, still do we need to file a NIL return with Penalty in the above case

@ sakthivel.. yes you will have to file nil return after taking of service tax registration no. Which Nov have u taken the registration, this Nov 2012 or nov 2011? If nov 2011 then file nil return for Oct-March 2012 qtr and April to June 2012 qtr. You will also have to pay penalty for late filing of return.
