AR the copies of bills have been made available to us and before the Ld. CIT(A). CIT(A) has therefore rightly considered the cost of invoices given by Kone Elevator India Private Limited for Rs. 16,05,000/- for 13 passenger capacity and Rs. 10,82,000/- for 8 passenger capacity. The cost of lifts is evidenced by the invoices issued by the supplier which was also produced before us.

Nos. 1.9.0 1.10.0 and 3.2 of the Annexure the DVO has considered the valuation in valuing the construction of the property. The Ld. AR pointed that these expenses were incurred by the lessee and hence adding it to the cost of construction of the assessee is not valid. We find from the valuation report of the DVO that this cost of construction has been included in the valuation report and being considered as cost of construction of the assessee. We therefore find merit in the arguments of the Ld. AR and from the materials placed before us, we find that there is no infirmity in the order of the Ld. CIT(A) on this ground and hence no interference is required. 7. Ground No.3 is with regarding allowing relief by Ld.CIT(A) for Rs. 15,65,500/- with respect to cost of lifts. The Ld.

On Ground No.6 is with regarding to the cost of construction of the property subsequent to handing over of possession to the lessee. The Ld AR submitted that the Ld.
