Show Cause cum Demand Notice

Hi all,


Our company sells products under 5911.90.90. On 07.07.2009 the rate of duty has been changed to 8% from 4%. On 28.02.2010 all 8% became 10%, no info about 4%. So we continued billing charging 4% C.EX.

Now few days back the fact is revealed, and suddenly they issued a demand notice. Now the question is that we haven't surpress the fact and the fact in shown in ER-1 return, is there any way out e.g., Time Bar Clause..etc.

I know ignorance is not an excuse but is there any clause to safeguard us.

BR.
