The AO noted that the assessee s right/ interest is oniy to the extent of 14%, whereas the assessee has disclosed its share of consideration of receipts at 12.69% of the total consideration of the project. According to AO, assessee s actual share of consideration receivable from the project is ₹ 7,12,47,120/- as against the disclosed consideration at ₹ 6,45,84,500/-. Therefore, the difference of ₹ 66,62,620/- was added to the total income of the assessee. Aggrieved, assessee preferred the appeal before CIT(A). 8.

..... noted that the assessee has not shown the full profit accrued to it as per its share in the project which is 14%. The working of the 40 in bringing to tax 14% of the project receipts in the hands of the assessee is found to be correct and the same is upheld. However there is merit in the alternate ground of the assessee that profit of unsold units cannot be brought to tax till the time of realization of money from sale of such units. Accordingly, the AO is directed to exclude the profit of unsold units from the income of the assessee for the current year and bring this income to tax in the hands of the assessee in the year in which these units are actually sold. Accordingly these grounds of appeal are partly allowed. Aggrieved, now assessee is in second appeal before Tribunal. 9.

The also furnished the details of comparative chart of sale consideration of all units during the course of assessment as well as appellate proceedings. These are reproduced in the order in above para 5 at page 4. We find from the facts of the case that the AO and CIT(A), based on the above chart came the conclusion that the assessee should have considered 14% income of the total consideration realized on sale of all units. According to revenue, the assessee has shown less income on sale of units allotted which are at lower floors compared to sale consideration of upper floors and accordingly allocated 14% of entire sale consideration realized on sale of all units to determine the share of the assessee in the entire project. 12. We have gone through entire facts and noted that the action of the AO in allocating 14% total consideration realized on sale of all the units of the project is wrong and contrary to .....
