Ltd. had indeed made unaccounted cash payment of Rs. 8.70 crores to the assessee. Hence, the order of the department itself explains the source of Rs. 8.70 crores for the assessee in respect of labour payments thereon by the assessee. Hence, there cannot be any addition that could be made in the hands of the assessee in the sum of Rs. 8.70 crores in the facts and circumstances of the instant case ". 5. However, it is needs to be mentioned here that M/s. Runwal Developers Pvt. Ltd. had admitted on-money income for .....

..... eal of the assessee and deleting the addition of Rs. 1,39,20,000/-, without discussing any reasons for disagreeing with the CIT(A), the order of the Hon'ble ITAT is ex-facie erroneous. 7. Further, it is found that M/s. Runwal Developers Pvt. Ltd. has not offered the entire amount of on-money as its unaccounted income.

Ltd. as final and deleted the addition made in Himmatlal Gopal Patel Senghan .....

..... n of Rs. 8.70 Crores and assessee had preferred cross objection before us challenging the addition of Rs. 1,39,20,000/-. Hence, the entire addition of Rs. 8.70 Crores was in dispute before this Tribunal effectively. We find that main grievance of the revenue was that the Runwal Developers Pvt. Ltd., had not offered Rs. 8.70 Crores in its hands and that the Tribunal appeal was pending in their case while deciding the appeal by this Tribunal in the case of the assessee herein. We find that the ld. AR placed on record the copy of the Tribunal order in the case of Runwal Developers Pvt. Ltd, for A.Y.2015-16 in ITA No.5622/Mum/2017 dated 15/07/2020.
