As per the section third option of 50% is available only if demand order is raised but as in your case no such order has been received so I think you should wait for the demand order otherwise you will be required to pay 100%of penalty if you pay after 30 days of SCN and before demand order. This situation has not been specifically dealt with in the Act.
