In case of composite supply, wherein a supply is made comprising of multiple supplies of goods or services out of which one supply is predominant and others are naturally bundled with it, it will be treated as supply of such predominant supply and in case of mixed supply, which involves multiple individual supplies of goods or services for a single price without any predominant supply, it will be treated as supply of goods or services which attracts the highest rate of tax. Further, supplies made to SEZ units will be treated as zero rated supplies.
