M/s. Rudraksh Developers Vs. ITO (ITAT Ahemdabad)- The facts involved in the case of the assessee are similar to the facts in the case of Radhe Developers (supra) and accordingly we are of the view that the assessee has acquired the dominant over the land and has developed the housing project by incurring all the expenses and taking all the risks involved therein. We may mention here that, in our opinion, the decision in the case of Radhe Developers (supra) will not apply in a case where the assessee has entered into the agreement for a fixed remuneration merely as a contractor to construct or develop the housing project on behalf of the landowner.
