The Revenue has raised the following grounds in this appeal: 1. On the facts and in the circumstances of the case, the Ld. CIT(A) erred in directing the Assessing Officer to delete addition of ₹ 4,80,00,000/- as income from undisclosed source u/s 68 of the Act, if the settlement Commission decides the issue in case of M/s Silver Arch Builders Promoters, that the on money receipts offer .....

The assessee explained that the source of this bogus loan is withdrawal of the amount by the assessee from the firm which has been offered by the firm to tax as the receipt of money on sale of flats. It was further pointed out that the partnership firm had filed an application for settlement before the Settlement Commission on 24.5.2007 which was admitted on 5.12.2007. Thus, the assessee contended before the A.O that the amount has already been offered to tax by the firm and it was only an application of income of the firm as withdrawn by the assessee.

The CIT(A) after examination of the record has decided the issue in para 6.3 as under: 6.3 I have considered the submissions made by the appellant and the order of the A.O. The only issue in the present ground is relating to set-off of income earned by one assessee against its application by another assessee. It is true that double addition cannot be made in respect of source of an income and its application. However, the income in the present case has been offered by the firm M/s Silver Arch Builders Promoters. Further, the said firm has filed petition before Hon ble Settlement Commission which is pending. In the circumstances, the directions given by Hon ble Settlement Commission would be bindi .....
