  1. 4: Valuation of excisable goods for purpose of charging of duty of excise -Assessable value – Appellants selling cars on price lower than the cost of production main reason for assessees to sell their cars at a lower price than manufacturing cost was to penetrate market and this constituted extra commercial consideration – Since price charged was not sole consideration, hence, value was to be determined as per valuation rules.<\/li>\n
  2. \n

    Editorial<\/em><\/strong>: The above ruling was in the context\u00a0 of \u201cnormal price\u201d. Normal price is\u00a0\u00a0 a deemed price. There are no words \u201cordinarily sold\u201d under section 15(1) of the CGST Act. Section 2(31) of CGST Act, 2017 defines \u201cconsideration\u201d It is modelled on the definition under section 2(d) of the Indian Contract Act. The same must\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 be a benefit derived by the assessee.<\/p>\n

    The expression \u201csole consideration\u201d would also have to be read in context with\u00a0\u00a0 the rules. Under the CGST Rules, there is no rule which provides for notional additions (unlike erstwhile Central Excise Valuation Rules). GST is a transaction based tax. It is a contract based levy.\u00a0 Hence, value would be the contract value\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 in terms of section 15(1) of the Act, subject to exceptions stated therein. Supply below cost and bulk discounts cannot be question under GST. The said judgment, in my view, would have no application under section15(1) of the Act.<\/p>\n

    \u201cFaith\u2026 must be enforced by reason\u2026 when faith becomes blind it dies.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
