..... return of income amounting to Rs.1,08,450/- which was subjected to reassessment u/s 147 of the IT Act. During the course of assessment proceedings it was found that the assessee had maintained a bank account with Axis Bank, Burdwan Branch which remained undisclosed by the assessee in his balance sheet as on 31st March, 2005.
