Yeah, "awaiting for" is not the right way. Rather it would be correct to use "waiting for" or "awaiting".

Why can't we use "wait for" instead of "await for"?

Wait takes preposition but awaiting don't take any preposition.

Waiting is correct. It can be awaiting in case if there is adverb before it like eagerly awaiting for the arrival.

Awaiting means "waiting for" so the word "for" is not needed over here.

Guys can you tell me the meaning of "waiting" and "awaiting". I am thinking that both are same.
Harika said:

Yes @Seshsai, both are same but for is not needed for awaiting and that is the only mistake over there.

I think awaiting for is incorrect. We can either use awaiting or waiting for, but not awaiting for.
