Detailed Solution

The Assertion is correct, but the Reason is incorrect.
The low-pressure conditions over north-western India get transferred to the Bay of Bengal by early November. As The Tibetan plateau gets extremely hot during summer and attracts the warm ocean air of the Indian Ocean. This warm air has lots of moisture and causes rainfall in the Indian peninsula. The opposite occurs in the Wintertime; Northern India is no longer hot but is cool and has become a high-pressure zone, and the low-pressure zone shifted to the Bay of Bengal by November. So the Assertion is correct
the Western ghats receive most of their rainfall during the arrival of the monsoon, not on the departure.
Hence the Reason is incorrect.
