AI Summary

Penalty for late excise returns can be imposed under Cenvat rules, but waiver possible for genuine nil returns.
Delayed filing of dealer quarterly excise/Cenvat returns can attract a general penalty under the Cenvat Credit Rules, while administrative officers retain discretion to reduce or waive penalties, particularly for nil returns or where genuine reasons for delay are shown; service-tax rule provisions also permit waiver in appropriate cases.
