Levy of 100% penalty - larger part of transitional credit was allowed - only minor part of the credit was disallowed - The penalty on the balance amount would not be covered under Section 74 of the Act since there was no attempt to defraud the revenue or mislead it or any suppression of material facts. Indeed, since there is no failure to pay any amount, in the strict sense, in this case as the show-cause notice only pertained to a claim that had been made to which the assessee was not entitled, this would not be an appropriate case for imposing any penalty. - HC
