Vinny,
Thank you, you are right, these rules don't specify 10 years ban.
But I don't know what below guidance is based on but it clearly states that Application for Leave to Remain will be refused where deception was used in previous application. This is really conflicting to rules.
What the rules require
The Immigration Rules define fraud and forgery as a form of deception.
If a person submits a document or information with an application which is independently
verified as being forged or not genuine, you must consider refusing entry or leave to remain.
When you have evidence that a person has done this, either as part of their current or
previous application, the Immigration Rules state that you should refuse the application
unless the deception related to an application over 10 years ago.

1-As I declared deception, ticked Yes, Home Office still granted visa, is 320 (7B) removed and no longer applies to me according to below
but problem is when I called Home Office recently and told them about this, they said below is Entry Clearance Guidance and not for Leave to Remain, again confusing.
Paragraph 320(7B) does not apply, General Grounds for refusal: page 37,
after a person has breached UK immigration laws, the Home Office have given a visa or leave to enter or remain in the knowledge of that breach – for example, a student who has overstayed but was granted leave to enter following an out of time application
