                                            Demand based on income tax returns and FORM AS 26 - All the ser-

                                     same - Adjudicating authority confirmed the demand irrespective to a lesser
                                     extent than it was proposed - Investigation got initiated based on Income Tax
                                     data about taxable value for respective year as received on account of services

                                     which are exempt - Thus taxable value in FYs 2008-09 and 2009-10 was zero -

                                     confirmed without appreciating the relevant documents - Adjudicating author-
                                     ity observed that difference in tax liability is mostly on account of calculation
                                     by availing abatement, whereas it was not admissible to them - Mistake of ap-
                                     pellant for short declaration of tax liability is rather held to be a bona fide mis-
                                     take on part of appellant - Declaration denied to be a false declaration - Since
