Penalty proceedings for undisclosed income found during a search require a notice under section 274 that identifies the precise charge under section 271AAB, including the applicable statutory clause and corresponding penalty rate. This specificity is necessary to provide a meaningful opportunity of hearing.

Defective initiation notices invalidate consequential penalty proceedings; the penalty is deleted, leaving the substantive merits of the levy unexamined.
