Such a contract shall provide by its terms that, it being only an interim solution of the repayment problems dealt with therein, its terms are not, in themselves, to be construed as a criterion of the terms of any

If the amount the time for payment of which is extended under a statement filed is less than the amount under the last statement previously filed the extension of time shall be terminated as to the difference between the two amounts. “(f) Termination by Commissioner.— The Commissioner is not required to make any examination of the statement, but he may make such examination thereof as he deems necessary and practicable. The Commissioner shall terminate the extension as to any part of the amount to which it relates which he deems should be terminated because, upon such examination, he believes that, as of the time such examination is made, all or any part of the statement clearly is in a material respect erroneous or unreasonable. “(g) Payments on Termination.— If an extension of time is terminated under subsection (e) or (f) with respect to any amount, then— 59 Stat. 521 “(1) no further extension of time shall be made under this section with respect to such amount, and “(2) the time for payment of such amount shall be considered to be the dates on which payments would have been required if there had been no extension with respect to such amount and the taxpayer had elected to pay the tax in four equal instalments as provided in section 56 (b).

If the Commissioner determines that during the period of extension credit or refund of an overpayment has been allowed or made, or a deficiency assessed, affecting the amount to which the extension relates and that the taxpayer could not have taken such overpayment or deficiency into account in the statement or a revised statement, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the interest.

Each such increase shall be deemed determined as a deficiency and shall be assessed, without regard to the restrictions on assessment in section

 the meaning of sections 781 (b) and 3807 (b) (1). “(c) Assessment of Erroneous Allowances.— If the Commissioner determines that the amount applied, credited or refunded under subsection (b) is in excess of the overassessment attributable to the carry-back with respect to which such amount was applied, credited 59 Stat. 523 or refunded, he may assess the amount of the excess as a deficiency as if it were due to a mathematical error appearing on the face of the return, as provided in section 272 (f). Upon making such assessment,
