Please elaborate your query? Is your party tenant? Is he working under half finished structure? When he will finish the remaining part of the building?

Your party (landlord) paid some advance to complete the construction work. The work got completed by tenant. The remaining amount of payment gets adjusted to the rent. So treat the remaining amount as cost of improvement, and offer the rent amount to tax.

Calculate total rent liability till march 2021, as per agreed terms. Adjust the amount of advance payment received against the rent. Credit the rent payable by party till march, if any. Balance amount adjust against unrealized rent.
