2019 (12) TMI 1647 - AT - Central ExciseValuation - cost of Pre-Delivery Inspection (PDI) and After Sales Service (ASS) charges required to be included in the assessable value of the motor vehicles sold by the appellant to the dealers or not - charges/expenditures are incurred by the dealers from their profit margin - HELD THAT:- Both sides fairly agree that the issue is covered by the judgment of Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of COMMISSIONER OF CENTRAL EXCISE, MYSORE VERSUS M/S TVS MOTORS COMPANY LTD. [2015 (12) TMI 874 - SUPREME COURT]. Their Lordships considering the issue in the context of amended Section 4 of Central Excise Act, 1944 w.e.f. 1.7.2000 observed that PDI charges and free ASS charges would not be included in the assessable value under Section 4 of the Act for the purposes of paying excise duty. The Pre Delivery Inspection (PDI) and After Sales Service (ASS) charges cannot be included in the assessable value of the motor vehicles - the appeals are allowed.
