Detailed Analysis:

1. Deletion of Addition of Rs. 1,46,55,94,222/- on Account of Unaccounted Sales:

Facts:
- A survey under Section 133A of the Income-tax Act, 1961, was conducted on 20.02.2007 at the premises of the assessee, where three loose papers were found and impounded. These papers revealed broker-wise dues totaling Rs. 1,46,55,94,222/- as of 12.01.2005.
- The assessee explained that these documents pertained to M/s TDI Infrastructure Pvt Ltd (formerly known as Intime Promoters Pvt Ltd).

Assessing Officer's Action:
- The Assessing Officer (AO) made a substantive addition of Rs. 1,46,55,94,222/- in the hands of M/s Taneja Developers and Infrastructure Ltd. and a protective addition in the hands of M/s Intime Promoters Pvt Ltd.

CIT(A)'s Decision:
- The CIT(A) deleted the addition in the hands of M/s Taneja Developers and Infrastructure Ltd. after being convinced that the impounded documents belonged to M/s Intime Promoters Pvt Ltd.
- The protective addition in the hands of M/s Intime Promoters Pvt Ltd became substantive.

Remand Report:
- The AO confirmed that the documents belonged to M/s Intime Promoters Pvt Ltd and pertained to the assessment year 2005-06.
- The AO verified the entries and found that the correct amount was Rs. 1,42,48,36,949/- after eliminating double entries. The entries were found to be recorded in the books of M/s Intime Promoters Pvt Ltd, and the amount received was Rs. 1,34,59,86,447/- with a balance of Rs. 7,88,50,502/- outstanding.

Tribunal's Decision:
- The Tribunal upheld the CIT(A)'s decision, noting that the premises where the documents were found belonged to M/s Intime Promoters Pvt Ltd and the entries were duly recorded in their books of account. Therefore, no addition was warranted in the hands of M/s Taneja Developers and Infrastructure Ltd.

2. Deletion of Addition of Rs. 20 Crores on Account of Unexplained Credits Under Section 68:

Facts:
- The AO added Rs. 20 crores as unexplained credits under Section 68 of the Act, based on credit entries in the names of M/s Rangoli Buildtech Pvt Ltd and M/s Epic Developers Pvt Ltd.

CIT(A)'s Decision:
- The CIT(A) called for a remand report and found that M/s Rangoli Buildtech Pvt Ltd was a debtor, not a creditor, and therefore, no addition could be made under Section 68.
- Regarding M/s Epic Developers Pvt Ltd, the CIT(A) found that the company had sufficient sources of funds, having borrowed Rs. 17.35 crores from other entities, and thus deleted the addition.

Remand Report:
- The AO confirmed that M/s Rangoli Buildtech Pvt Ltd was a debtor of the assessee.
- For M/s Epic Developers Pvt Ltd, the AO found that the company had received Rs. 17.35 crores from other sources, which was sufficient to lend Rs. 14.50 crores to the assessee.

Tribunal's Decision:
- The Tribunal upheld the CIT(A)'s findings, stating that the assessee had successfully explained the transactions with M/s Epic Developers Pvt Ltd and that Section 68 was not applicable to M/s Rangoli Buildtech Pvt Ltd as it was a debtor.
- The Tribunal found no merit in the revenue's grievance and dismissed the appeals.

Conclusion:
Both appeals filed by the revenue were dismissed, and the additions made by the AO were deleted by the CIT(A) and upheld by the Tribunal. The Tribunal confirmed that the documents and transactions were correctly attributed and recorded by the respective entities, and no further additions were warranted.
