There is no relaxation regarding imposition of penalty on the ground that transaction is nil. Penalty of ₹ 100/- per day is imposable under Rule 12(6) of CE Rules, 2002. Maximum ₹ 20000/- Notification No.8/15-CE(NT) dated 1.3.15. No officer has power to relax.

Sir,

Rule 12 (6) of Central Excise Rules, 2002 stipulates that " where any return referred to in this rule is submitted by the assessee after due date as specified for every return or statements, the assessee shall pay to the credit of the Central Government, an amount calculated at the rate of one hundred rupees per day subject to a maximum of twenty thousand rupees for the period of delay in submission of each such return or statement.

In view of the above provision you have pay the late fee for each return filed after due date. If you take over the business with ensuing assets and liability of the previous owner then you are liable to pay late fee for delayed filing of the return. Otherwise you are not liable. This is my opinion.

If the liability of the company is also taken over by you then the late fee for late filing of return is payable by you in the manner as explained by learned experts Sri Kasturi Sir and Sri Rajagopalan Sir.

Yes. There is relaxation in Service Tax but not in Central Excise.

Such penalty amount must be deducted by you from the amount payable to the company you are taking over.
