Issues Involved:
1. Deletion of addition of Rs. 20,50,000/- credited in the capital account of Smt. Swaran Kanta.
2. Deletion of addition of Rs. 40,50,000/- received from Shri Ankush Gupta.
3. Deletion of addition of Rs. 3,88,82,000/- from M/s Shree Radha Commodity Services.

Issue-wise Detailed Analysis:

1. Deletion of addition of Rs. 20,50,000/- credited in the capital account of Smt. Swaran Kanta:
The Department contested the deletion of Rs. 20,50,000/- credited in the capital account of Smt. Swaran Kanta. The Assessing Officer (A.O.) treated this amount as unexplained income due to lack of evidence. The assessee argued that the amount was received from Smt. Swaran Kanta's son, Puneet Gupta, an NRI, through his NRE account and provided relevant bank statements. The Ld. CIT(A) considered the submissions and remand report, noting that the funds were transferred through banking channels and the source was adequately explained. The Ld. CIT(A) concluded that the addition was unjustified and deleted it. The Tribunal upheld this decision, emphasizing that if any addition was warranted, it should have been in the hands of Smt. Swaran Kanta, not the firm.

2. Deletion of addition of Rs. 40,50,000/- received from Shri Ankush Gupta:
The A.O. added Rs. 40,50,000/- received from Shri Ankush Gupta as unexplained credit. The assessee provided evidence that the amount was received from Ankush Gupta's brother, Puneet Gupta, and cousin, Akash Bansal, through banking channels. The Ld. CIT(A) accepted the explanation and deleted the addition, noting that the source and creditworthiness were adequately demonstrated. The Tribunal agreed with the Ld. CIT(A), stating that the identity and creditworthiness of the depositor and the genuineness of the transaction were proven, and thus the addition was rightly deleted.

3. Deletion of addition of Rs. 3,88,82,000/- from M/s Shree Radha Commodity Services:
The A.O. added Rs. 3,88,82,000/- received from M/s Shree Radha Commodity Services as unexplained credit. The assessee argued that similar transactions were accepted as genuine in previous assessments. The Ld. CIT(A) noted that the creditor's assessments for relevant years did not result in any additions, indicating the genuineness of the transactions. The Tribunal upheld the Ld. CIT(A)'s decision, referencing a similar case for the A.Y. 2008-09 where the addition was deleted, reinforcing the consistency in the creditor’s financial dealings.

Conclusion:
The Tribunal dismissed the Department's appeal, affirming the Ld. CIT(A)'s deletions of the additions for all three issues, based on thorough examination of evidence, banking transactions, and consistency with previous assessments.
