Reopening a completed scrutiny assessment beyond four years requires escapement of income to be attributable to the assessee's failure to disclose fully and truly all material facts. Where the immovable-property sale, sale consideration and explanation for the additional stamp-duty value were examined and disclosed in the original assessment, the recorded reasons must identify a material fact withheld by the assessee.
