Rohan Foods supplies goods under an invoice showing price Rs 80,000 and a trade discount of Rs 5,000 duly recorded in that same invoice. It also charges separately Rs 3,000 as interest for the buyer's delayed payment of this invoice. What is the value of supply including the interest, ignoring GST?

The value is Rs 78,000. The Rs 5,000 discount recorded in the invoice is excluded, leaving Rs 75,000, and the Rs 3,000 interest for delayed payment is added under section 15(2)(d). Both rules together give Rs 78,000.

  1. ARs 75,000
  2. BRs 78,000Correct
  3. CRs 80,000
  4. DRs 83,000

Explanation

A discount given at the time of supply and recorded in the invoice is excluded under section 15(3)(a), so base value is 80,000 - 5,000 = 75,000. Interest for delayed payment is included under section 15(2)(d), adding 3,000, giving Rs 78,000. Rs 83,000 ignores the discount.
