Assessee contended that discrepancy had been duly explained/reconciled by assessee during original assessment and same stood accepted by then AO.Held: In the reasons recorded, there was no mention or allegation about assessee's failure to disclose truly and fully disclosure of all material facts necessary for assessment.
