Clause (e) : describes subsidy provided in any form or manner
linked to the supply (Excluding Government Subsidy)

IMPORTANT POINT IS: Subsidy shud be directly linked to the price.
EXAMPLE 1: What about Gas Subsidy as such subsidy is also related to supply of GAS CYLINDERS??
Let say: If a car service station is giving discount to the customers and car manufacturer is giving benefit to the service station to makeup for such,.then such amount is levy to GST. as this is linked to price and not provided by the Government.
