Analysis:

Issue 1: Appeal against the Order of Ld. CIT(A)-21
The Assessee filed an appeal against the Order of Ld. CIT(A)-21 for the assessment year 2014-15, raising multiple grounds challenging the decision of the Assessing Officer. The Assessee contended that the Ld. CIT(A) erred in accepting the order without proper application of mind and justification for various additions made to the income.

Issue 2: Unexplained Income and Cash Deposit
The Assessing Officer added Rs. 16.40 lakhs as unexplained income and Rs. 4.00 lakhs as cash deposit to the Assessee's income. The Assessee failed to substantiate the source of these amounts, leading to the additions. The Ld. CIT(A) upheld these additions based on the lack of documentation and non-cooperation from involved parties.

Issue 3: Calculation of Capital Loss
The Assessee claimed set off of long term capital loss against other income, which was rejected by the authorities citing relevant provisions disallowing such set off. The Ld. CIT(A) rightly dismissed this claim, stating that the law does not permit set off of long term capital loss against any other head of income.

Issue 4: Validity of Assessing Officer's Actions
The Assessing Officer's actions in making the additions were deemed appropriate as the Assessee failed to provide satisfactory explanations or evidence regarding the unexplained income and cash deposit. The Ld. CIT(A) upheld these actions after considering the facts and circumstances of the case.

Issue 5: Admissibility of Grounds Raised by the Assessee
During the hearing, the Assessee raised various grounds challenging the Ld. CIT(A)'s decision. However, after considering the arguments from both parties and examining the records, the Tribunal upheld the Ld. CIT(A)'s order, concluding that the additions and rejections were justified.

In conclusion, the Tribunal dismissed the Assessee's appeal, upholding the additions of unexplained income and cash deposit while rejecting the claim for set off of capital loss. The decision was based on the lack of substantiating evidence and non-compliance with tax regulations.
