In case of service tax if you are not able to file return on time then penalty will be charged as per Section 70 Rull 7C panely for late filing of service tax return is
First 15 days. RS. 500
Upto 30 days RS. 500 + RS 1000
More then 30 days. Rs. 500 + RS.1000 + Rs. 100 for every day after 30 days
Maximum panely cannot exceed RS. 20000
Last date of filing of return is 25th of every succeeding month after 6 month that is 25 Oct. And 25 April

Sir,i was not asking about penalty of service tax! I was asking whether service tax should be charged on penalty amount in invoice?

Did you mean demurrage charges as a penalty in your question?

Yes service tax is charged on any penalty charged by service provider as service tax is charged on gross amount received by service provider from service receiver after deducting any amount which is not chargeable to tax such as amount received against service provided which are included in negative list. Therefore amount received against panely is taxable. Example: any amount charged as panely by banks and credit card company are chargeable to tax
