Sir,
One of my client taken Service tax registration(haryana) number in march 2011 and after that he never filled return ST-3, nor any bill issued to anyone till march 2015. In October 2014 he again applied for new Service Tax Registration(himachal pradesh) and continue with new one(filling return).
Now, he wish to surrender registration number of Haryana but he don't have user id and password nor ST-2 have stamp and seal of offical.
Please suggest how can surrender?

He Can request jurisdiction Service Tax Officer to reset his User ID and password of previous registration. Once able to login he can request for surrender of RC.
Thanks

Sir,
Thanks! for your valuable advise. But what treatment they will do? Because he never filled nil ST-3 (due from march 2011 to till date).

There is no penalty for non-filling of NIL Service tax returns. Hence need not to bother if he has actually not trasacted any business or collected any service tax.

Hi Vikas,
What is the fun of carrying a dead body. In case u do not wish to operate in Haryana in near future it is better to surrender, else you may continue to hold. But no one knows a future amendment may land you in trouble.
