Levy of penalty - carry forward of excess credit - it was a bona fide mistake of carrying forward excess credit - There is no other allegation or evidence brought on record by the revenue that intentionally and purposefully the Appellant had shown wrong opening balance thereby continued to enjoy excess credit for a period of time till it is pointed out by the audit.
