Will You Get GoDaddy Domain Transfer Free One Year Extension

Whether You will get Extra free one year from godaddy while transfering your doamin to GoDaddy from other service providers?

Well there is a promotional message in GoDaddy domain transfer page which says
"Transfer Your Domain From only ₨559.00* & Free 1-yr extension"
Since I am from India the prices are shown in INR, If you are from any other country you will see respective pricing for domain transfer. Since I found Free one year extension in Godaddy transfer page I thought (most of you will believe) you will get two year validity for your domain when you transfer to GoDaddy. But that is not true, when you transfer your domain to GoDaddy you will only get one year validity. The customer support team says that the price is for the domain registration and you will get free one year extension.
 I will explain it, when you transfer your domain which is going to expire in 2016 after paying for one year you only get one year validity for your domain that is 2017. There is no free one year extension actually. You are paying for one year domain registration and getting one year domain registration. If your current registrar renewal price is lower than the transferring cost it will better to stay with your current registrar. Only transfer your domain if your current domain registrar service is not good.
So Don't fall into the tricks of GoDaddy.
Still my domain name is hosted with Godaddy. may be in future I may go away from Godaddy, since there documentation is not enough. They are all confusing.
I checked the transfer offer from Bigrock. It also says free one year extension for domain name. But in description it clearly says all the details with the offer as shown below

FREE! 1 Year Extension Included : We will add one year to the current expiry date of your domain name for no additional cost. For example, if your domain expires on 5th Nov 2006 and you place a Transfer request on 17th Sept 2006 then after the transfer is complete, the new expiry date of your domain name will be 5th Nov 2007 i.e. you will not lose anytime even if you choose to transfer months before your domains expiry date.

But GoDaddy is hiding this from users. you will not find any information like this on there page.
