Value as per Section 4A= RSP Printed on package  -Abatement

 

Important Points

If more than one RSP Declared

Maximum of these will be RSP

 

If different RSP is for different areas

In this cases, maximum of RSP is not to be taken

Different RSP for sales in different areas to be taken

 

RSP not mandatory for wholesale packages

If goods are sold in bulk in wholesale, in this case RSP declaration is not mandatory.

So Valuation as per section 4A cannot be made.
