Recording of satisfaction in the assessment order is treated as a jurisdictional prerequisite for initiating penalty for cash receipts in contravention of the statutory banking-route rule; a vague reference to possible penalty proceedings is insufficient, and the defect cannot be cured later in the notice, penalty order or appeal.
