In the history of DAF filling, yours is not a unique case. Nothing happens. Write an email to upsc as well as send a letter and keep proof. 

Have you filled it more or less than actual CGPA?

Anything which doesn't affect entry in services, they don't care about it. And since there is no cgpa criteria, it doesn't matter. They will only check your degree certificate, whether you have passed or not. 


Further, in their prelims notification, where they had written instructions for online filling of forms, they had mentioned that they collect cgpa only for data collection purpose.
