Also as per Circular. 47/21/2018-GST, if the value of moulds and dies provided by the OEM to the component manufacturer on FOC basis shall not be added to the value of such supply because the cost of moulds/dies was not to be incurred by the component manufacturer and thus, does not merit inclusion in the value of supply in terms of section of the Central Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017.

If the steel cement and other material were not supplied by the contractee , still they would have been procured by the contractor and would have been part of contract value. Hence, supply from contractee or not will not affect the value of taxable supply under Section 15 of CGST Act, 2017. 3. CONTENTION AS PER THE CONCERNED OFFICER The submission, as reproduced verbatim, could be seen thus- The application has been examined and the submission/comments are as under: Clarification asked for by M/s.

..... per agreement, which is inclusive of material and labour. Further we find that, the certificate issued by the Architect (i.e. RA Bill) for the invoice to be issued contains total contract value and from that, the value of Cement, Mild Steel, Tor Steel and Structural Steel provided by the contractee is deducted.
