AO at Rs. 60,00,000/- on account of unexplained credit by way of advance from M/s. Vasundhara Co-op. Housing Society Ltd. and on that account making a fresh addition of Rs. 94,42,869/- on the basis of finding of the Ld.

Housing Society Ltd. without appreciating the facts submitted by the assessee company that the said sales has been booked in the subsequent year along with the cost of sales based on the facts and circumstances in the case and accounting policies, adopted by it.
-
