The value of such benefits or the cost of the product(in case of free stuffs) needs to be reduced from the revenue made through that sale. For money back offers, there is a requirement to provide for the same till the money back period according to AS 9 - "In the case of retail sales offering a guarantee of “money back if not completely satisfied” it may be appropriate to recognise the sale but to make a suitable provision for returns based on previous experience."
