01 November 2016 1716 is nothing but 1720.....
and how much you have paid....NIL?
penalty is not levied.
if tax amount is upto 10,000, dvance tax is not required to be paid.....section 208.

"Materiality" is a major concern of levying penalty.
Mathematically speaking, there may be a difference of INR10, which is IMMATERIAL...No need to over stretch the words of the section. Ok?
