ITAT upheld initiation of penalty for under-reported income in consequence of misreporting because the assessment order and show-cause notice clearly conveyed the charge, and requiring a more exact sub-clause specification would go beyond section 270A.

However, the penalty was deleted on merits in relation to labour cess disallowance, since all material facts were disclosed, the omission was a bona fide computational error, and the addition was tax neutral, bringing the case within the exclusion for bona fide explanations.
