Even though no penalty can be levied for not filling NIL ST return., but always advisable to file Nil transaction declaration.

As per judgment in the case of Suchak Marketing Pvt Ltd Vs. Comm. of Service Tax, Kolkata [2013 (6) TMI 641 Wherein it was decided that “no penalty under Section 77 of Finance Act or fees under Rule 7C of the STR imposable. such case is fit for invocation of the proviso to Rule7C and grant waiver of late filing fees.”
As such penalty cannot be imposed, for non-filling if NIL ST return, still its case of debate, and one should avoid such litigations.
