Respected Sir,

I am extremely thankful to you for your reply but i have a doubt whether there were any other provisions in the previous years? This provision will be applicable from the time it came into the act, but is there any other provision of penalty for previous years?
I will require it from 2006-07 so it would be appreciable if you provide me the required data.

Eagerly waiting for your reply.

Rule 7C - Service Tax Rules, 1994 is inserted by the Service Tax (Third Amendment) Rules, 2007, w.e.f. 12-5-2007.

Thanx alot sir. Your reply means alot!

For the peiod since 2007 till 2011 the maximum penalty for not filing of the return only Rs.2000 as it was the maximum penalty as per section 70 of the Finance Act 1994.the penalty was enhanced from Rs.2000 to Rs.20000 only on 8. 4. 2011 before that it was only Rs.2000.So calculate your penalty accordingly.
