value in respect of supplies specified below shall, at the option of the

foreign currency, including money changing, shall be determined by the supplier
of services in the following manner, namely:-
(a) for a currency, when exchanged from, or to, Indian Rupees, the value shall
be equal to the difference in the buying rate or the selling rate, as the case
may be, and the Reserve Bank of India reference rate for that currency at that
time, multiplied by the total units of currency:
Provided that in case where the Reserve Bank of India reference rate for a
currency is not available, the value shall be one per cent. of the gross amount
of Indian Rupees provided or received by the person changing the money:
Provided further that in case where neither of the currencies exchanged is
Indian Rupees, the value shall be equal to one per cent. of the lesser of the
two amounts the person changing the money would have received by converting any
of the two currencies into Indian Rupee on that day at the reference rate
provided by the Reserve Bank of India.
Provided also that a person supplying the services may exercise the option to
ascertain the value in terms of clause (b) for a financial year and such option
