Thus, stand of the assessee before the AO was that being a developer, its rights were limited to receive development fees on completion of project. The society is owner and has right, title and interest on work-in-progress. This stand of the assessee has been accepted by the ld.CIT(A) in both the assessment years. Contrary to this stand, nothing has been brought to our notice. The assessee has demonstrated that it was working only as a developer and alleged collection over expenditure cannot be treated as its business income, rather, it was a liability in the balance sheet. Therefore, we are of the view that the ld CIT(A) has rightly deleted this addition and, no interference is called for. Similarly, in A.Y 2009-10 and addition of Rs. 4,84,35,702/- was made on account of excess of collection over expenses. It was deleted by CIT(A). We do not find any error in the order of (he Id.
