Valuation - inclusion of royalty / technical know-how to the transaction value - The tribunal noted that, the argument in regard to amendment of Rule 10 is not material to be considered for the reason that for the disputed period (2010-2013) the respondent has not paid any royalty or technical know-how fee. Therefore, the amendment has no bearing to decide the issue as to whether the transaction value accepted by the department is proper. - The CESTAT while dismissing the revenue appeal held that, there is no material pointed out to show that that the price quoted for similar goods as per NIDB data or contemporaneous imports is higher or different from the value adopted by the respondent.
