Revenue appeal dismissed. Issues Involved:1. Deletion of addition towards unexplained bank credit entries.2. Deletion of addition towards undisclosed income on sale of flats on a protective basis.Issue-wise Detailed Analysis:1. Deletion of Addition Towards Unexplained Bank Credit Entries:The Assessing Officer (AO) identified unexplained debit and credit entries in the bank account of the assessee, particularly a credit entry of Rs. 25,00,000 on 11.08.2005, which was not explained by the assessee. Consequently, the AO treated these unexplained credit entries, totaling Rs. 76,90,039, as unexplained income, but after considering Rs. 20,00,000 declared by the assessee as income from various civil works, added Rs. 56,90,039 to the income of the assessee.Upon appeal, the CIT(A) deleted the addition, stating that the entries were duly explained. The revenue, dissatisfied with this decision, appealed to the Tribunal.The Tribunal examined the documents and explanations provided by the assessee, who argued that the AO incorrectly calculated the credit entries. The actual credit entries amounted to Rs. 63,84,539, and after excluding the declared income of Rs. 20,00,000, the addition should have been Rs. 43,84,539. The Tribunal noted that the AO included reversal entries in the total, which should not have been considered.The Tribunal found that the major credit entries totaling Rs. 55,00,000 were from credible sources like Ansal Properties Ltd., The Seth Vihar CGHS Ltd., and the flagship company of the assessee. An unreconciled difference of Rs. 8,84,500 was already declared as business income. Since the credit entries were duly explained and the balance amount offered to tax, the Tribunal upheld the CIT(A)'s order, declining to interfere on this issue.2. Deletion of Addition Towards Undisclosed Income on Sale of Flats on a Protective Basis:The AO assessed an amount towards undisclosed income from the sale of flats on a protective basis, based on documents seized during a search in the GTM Group. The CIT(A) deleted this addition, and the revenue appealed.The Tribunal referred to a related case of GTM Builders & Promoters Pvt. Ltd., where it was held that the addition was unwarranted. Consequently, the Tribunal dismissed the revenue's appeal on this ground.Conclusion:The Tribunal dismissed the revenue's appeal, upholding the CIT(A)'s order on both issues. The credit entries were found to be duly explained, and the addition for undisclosed income from the sale of flats was deemed unwarranted. The order was pronounced in the Open Court on 10/02/2021.
