Notwithstanding anything contained in the provisions of this Chapter (i.e. Chapter-IV: Determination of Value of Supply), the value in respect of supplies specified below shall, at the option of the supplier, be determined in the manner provided hereinafter.

Where a taxable supply is provided by a person dealing in buying and selling of second hand goods i.e., used goods as such or after such minor processing which does not change the nature of the goods and where no input tax credit has been availed on the purchase of such goods, the value of supply shall be the difference between the selling price and the purchase price and where the value of such supply is negative, it shall be ignored:
