The amortised value of goods/services supplied free of cost or at reduced price for use in connection with supply of goods/services so valued to the extent not included has been deleted thereby meaning that free supplies are no longer added in the transaction value.

However, at the same time, clause (b) of the section states that any amount incurred by recipeint of the supply that was supposed to be paid by supplier and which is not included in the price is to be added in the transaction value. This somehow indicates that free supplies should also be included in the transaction value but specific deletion of the clause leads to .....

Second deletion is regarding royalties and licence fees related to the supply of goods and/or services being valued that the recipient of supply must pay, either directly or indirectly, as a condition of the said supply, to the extent that such royalties and fees are not included in the price actually paid or payable. .....

Apart from above deletions, a new clause (d) has been inserted in the inclusion list regarding interest or late fee or penalty for delayed payment of any consideration for any supply.
