Issues Involved:
1. Confirmation of addition of Rs. 3,66,61,812/- on account of sub-contract work.
2. Reduction in disallowance under section 40(a)(ia) of the Income-tax Act from Rs. 20,69,74,740/- to Rs. 1,11,83,140/-.
3. Reduction in disallowance under section 43B of the Income-tax Act from Rs. 23,06,980/- to Rs. 56,037/-.

Detailed Analysis:

1. Confirmation of Addition of Rs. 3,66,61,812/- on Account of Sub-Contract Work
The assessee filed its return of income showing a loss, which was later revised. During scrutiny, the AO noticed that the assessee made a provision for sub-contract work amounting to Rs. 3,66,61,812/- but did not deduct it while computing taxable income. The AO disallowed this amount and added it to the income of the assessee, as the assessee failed to furnish required details.

On appeal, the assessee argued that the provision was for actual work done, and the liability was incurred in the normal course of business. The CIT (A) admitted additional evidence but upheld the AO's addition, stating the liability did not crystallize during the relevant year.

The Tribunal found that the additional evidence was not properly considered by the AO and remanded the issue back to the AO for re-adjudication after considering the reconciliation statement provided by the assessee.

2. Reduction in Disallowance under Section 40(a)(ia) from Rs. 20,69,74,740/- to Rs. 1,11,83,140/-
The AO noticed that the assessee failed to deposit TDS on sub-contract expenses totaling Rs. 20,69,74,740/-. The CIT (A) reduced this disallowance to Rs. 1,11,83,140/- after verifying that some TDS amounts pertained to earlier years and some were deposited before the due date of filing the return.

The Tribunal upheld the CIT (A)'s decision, finding no valid ground to interfere with the reduction in disallowance. The Tribunal also directed the AO to verify the correctness of the claim that TDS was deposited before the due date of the return.

3. Reduction in Disallowance under Section 43B from Rs. 23,06,980/- to Rs. 56,037/-
The AO disallowed Rs. 23,06,980/- under section 43B for unpaid tax liabilities. The CIT (A) reduced this disallowance to Rs. 56,037/-, accepting the assessee's claim that certain liabilities pertained to earlier years and some were deposited before the due date of filing the return.

The Tribunal found that the CIT (A) had properly verified the details and accepted the assessee's claims. The Tribunal upheld the CIT (A)'s decision, finding no valid ground to interfere with the reduction in disallowance.

Conclusion:
- The appeal of the assessee regarding the addition of Rs. 3,66,61,812/- on account of sub-contract work was remanded back to the AO for re-adjudication.
- The department's appeal regarding the reduction in disallowance under section 40(a)(ia) was dismissed.
- The department's appeal regarding the reduction in disallowance under section 43B was dismissed.
- The cross-objection filed by the assessee was dismissed as not pressed.
