ITAT held that penalty under s.270A was unsustainable and set aside because the AO, in the s.274 notice and penalty order, failed to specify the precise default-whether "under-reporting" or "under-reporting as a consequence of misreporting"-each attracting distinct penal consequences and rates; issuance of a notice alleging both distinct defaults rendered the proceedings void ab initio.
