If you getting discount at the time of purchasing of asset then it is called as Trade Discount and you have to consider the value of asset(purchase value) net of discount amount.
In case if you getting this discount at the time of payment i.e means you purchased the car for payment of installment basis and for prompt payment company allowing you discount then it is called cash discount then you have to considered it as Income.

I.e means you totally paid Rs. 40 along with finance amount.
Is you know about the discount amount at the time of purchase and it shall be allowed by the company at the time of purchase then it shall be treated as trade discount.

Yes, you have to deduct it from invoice value or purchase value. Before that please keep in mind is seller given any document or credit note etc.. for evidence of discount allowed.
