Detailed Analysis:

1. Deletion of Addition of Rs.99,35,200/- on Account of Unexplained Cash Credits:
The Tribunal noted that the amount of Rs.99,35,200/- was received through account payee cheques and was duly recorded in the books of account. The CIT(A) found that the cash credits were part of the business turnover and were accounted for in the regular books. The Tribunal upheld the CIT(A)'s finding, emphasizing that the amounts were business receipts and could not be treated as unexplained cash credits under section 68 of the IT Act.

2. Deletion of Addition of Rs.4,00,000/- on Account of Unexplained Cash Credit:
The CIT(A) found that the amount of Rs.4,00,000/- was repaid by cheque upon cancellation of booking and was supported by affidavits and bank statements. The Tribunal agreed with the CIT(A) that the transaction was genuine and properly documented, thus there was no basis for the addition under section 68.

3. Deletion of Addition of Rs.13,60,00,523/- Made on Account of Receipts from Development Rights:
The CIT(A) observed that the receipts were duly accounted for in the regular books and were part of the business turnover. The Tribunal noted that the entire amount was split into receipts attributable to the cost of land and development charges, and these were to be passed on to the society or retained by the assessee for development expenditure. The Tribunal upheld the deletion of the addition, finding no basis for treating the receipts as undisclosed income.

4. Deletion of Addition of Rs.2,79,16,000/- Made on Account of Unexplained Cash Deposits in Bank Accounts:
The CIT(A) found that the cash deposits were duly recorded in the books of account and were made from sufficient cash balances available. The Tribunal agreed, noting that the AO's addition was based on assumptions without conclusive evidence. The Tribunal emphasized that the transactions were recorded in the regular books of account, and the AO failed to prove that the deposits were unaccounted income.

5. Deletion of Addition of Rs.13,23,000/- Made on Account of Unaccounted Income of Radhe Acre I & II Schemes:
The CIT(A) found that the sales during the post-search period were received by cheque and duly accounted for. The Tribunal noted that the AO's assumption of on-money receipt was without evidence and based on pre-search period findings. The Tribunal upheld the deletion, stating that no addition could be made on mere presumption.

6. Deletion of Addition of Rs.56,19,870/- on Account of Interest Expenditure Claimed by the Assessee:
The CIT(A) found that the assessee had sufficient interest-free funds to cover any interest-free advances and that the borrowed funds were used for business purposes. The Tribunal agreed, noting that the AO failed to establish a nexus between borrowed funds and interest-free advances. The Tribunal upheld the deletion, emphasizing the proper use of funds for business purposes and the net surplus interest income.

7. Deletion of Addition of Rs.2,00,000/- on Account of Unexplained Deposits in Bank Account:
The CIT(A) found that the cash deposit was duly accounted for in the books of account. The Tribunal noted that this issue was connected with the unexplained cash deposits and upheld the deletion, finding no justification for the addition.

Conclusion:
The Tribunal dismissed the departmental appeal, upholding the CIT(A)'s order in deleting all the additions made by the AO. The Tribunal emphasized the proper accounting and documentation of transactions, the lack of evidence for the AO's assumptions, and the proper use of funds for business purposes.
