ITAT held that penalty under section 271AAB was unsustainable because the show-cause notice failed to specify the particular clause of section 271AAB applicable to the assessee, thereby rendering initiation of penalty proceedings invalid.

Given that valid initiation is a sine qua non for imposing penalty, the impugned penalty was deleted and the assessee's appeal was allowed.
