If you knowingly spend money that was deposited into your account in error (if you KNOW it was not yours but spend it anyway), you are responsible for repayment to the bank. This might also be construed as a crime depending on the laws in your jurisdiction. It is generally both unlawful and immoral to knowingly take something that is not yours.

Will bank hold the wire transfer fund if account number is mistaken added by extra digits?

It Depends. If there is a valid bank account including the extra digits you put in by mistake, funds will be transferred to that account. The bank will not take any liability out of this wrong transaction that arose out of your mistake in entering the account number incorrectly. But, if there is no valid account with those numbers then the transaction will be cancelled and the money will be deposited back into your account. If by chance, money got deposited into the wrong account, you have to file a legal complaint to get your money bank. The bank can only provide details of to whose account the money was deposited and will not help you out to get the money back.
