quantum of penalty will depend of period and nature of default. If it is for past period then Department can go for section 78 penalty which is maximum 200% of tax. However, same is reduced to 100% for the period 2011-12. Will depend upon allegation in show cause notice and there are also other provision of reduced penalty.
