Section 270A distinguishes under-reporting from misreporting, with different statutory consequences. For a misreporting penalty, the Assessing Officer must specify the precise applicable clause in both the notice and penalty order; a generic reference leaves the taxpayer unaware of the charge and invalidates the proceedings.
