In case, the liability is detected by yourself without pointing out by the department, no need to pay Penalty. Otherwise you have to pay penalty. In case Show Cause Notice is given to u, within a period of a month of issue of Adjudication order, if you pay 25% of tax amount as penalty, the issue will be closed.
