If a person who is liable to pay Service Tax fails to pay service tax, he shall pay in addition to such tax and interest in accordance with the provisions of Section 75 of the Finance Act, 1994, a penalty which shall not be less than Rs. 200/- for every day during which such failure continues or @ 2% of such tax per month, (whichever is higher. )
However, the penalty amount payable shall not exceed the amount of Service Tax payable. (Refer to Section 76 of the Finance Act, 1994).

Dear Rames,
What Meena is asking for is the provision for late filing of returns and that too Nil Returns , therefore provisions for non payment of tax are not asked for here.

MEENA ,
ATTENTION, PLEASE
If a person gets himself registered with the service tax department, he has to follow all the procedures and submit all the relevant documents which are necessary, even if he is not providing any services during the concerned half year.
Therefore, even if he is not providing any service or not liable to pay any service during the corresponding Half Year for which return is due to be submitted, he is required to file return in Form ST-3 or ST-3A as the case may be, as a NIL return.
However, in various instances, the tribunal has taken liberal stand for non filing or late filing of NIL return and rejected the penalty proceedings for the same. (Re. SAJJAN KUMAR KARIWALA v. CCE 2003 (159) E.L.T. 1131 -Tri. -
ALSO NOTED THAT :-
If a person fails to file the ST-3 Return by the due date Mandatory Penalty for Late filing of ST-3 Return under Rule 7C of Service Tax Rules, 1994 Sr.No. Period of Delay from the prescribed date Penalty 1 15 days Rs.500/- 2 Beyond 15 days but not later than 30 days Rs.1000/- 3 Beyond 30 days Rs.1000/- plus Rs. 100/- for every day from the thirty first day till the date of furnishing the said return Rs.2000)

Still the query is unanswered...
Meena you will be liable to pay a sum of Rs 2000 per return which brings you total liability to file belated returns to Rs 12000 i.e for 3 assessent years ( Two Returns per day).
Department may impose some penalty also at the time of filing such returns but generallyt it is seen that the department have waived of the penalty where there is no tax payable in the relevant years.
