Executive Pension and basic rate relief

I think I've been doing something a bit silly.
I have an executive personal pension, and it is solely funded every month for £300 from my limited company bank a/c (i am a contract engineer). Total £3600 per year.
But, every year when I've been completing my self assessment tax return, I've also been filling in those boxes that asks me if I want to claim relief on my Personal Pension contributions. But I am suddenly thinking that this refers to payments made into a pension plan from my own bank a/c, doesn't it, rather than my limited company account?
So have I been illegally claiming basic rate tax relief for the last few years?
If so, what should I do about this re the Inland Revenue?
