In chapter 673, we all saw Sasuke with a nine-tomoe Rinnegan(with was later corrected to be six tomoe) in his left eye and wondered how he obtained it. Well I will explain how he awakened it and obtained the tomoe with my theory.
The Six Paths Yin Power/Appearance:
When Hagoromo provided Sasuke with his chakra, Hagoromo still possessed Truth-Seeking Balls. This implies that Hagoromo still had a small amount of Ten-Tails' chakra. After Sasuke received his Yin Chakra, the Juubi Chakra and Hagoromo's chakra clashed and fought for superiority. In the end, the result of their clash was this:

As you can see, the two powers came to a compromise.
Hagoromo's inheritors: Purple color
Kaguya's inheritors: Tomoe, Manifests in one eye only.
Due to the number of tomoe and the fact that it is not a third eye, Sasuke's Rinnegan is Kaguya's Rinne Sharingan with Hagoromo's Rinnegan powers in an incomplete form.
Sasuke's Rinnegan powers/Techniques:
In chapter 674, Sasuke demonstrated the ability to utilize Amenotejikara, a space-time ninjutsu that allows him to teleport and shift spaces with any object in a certain range.

This is similar to Kaguya's Amenominka, a space-time technique that allows her to shift dimensions.
Amenotejikara is most likely Amenominka on a lower scale due to the tomoe difference.
Later, Sasuke discovered that he could use his Sharingan powers through his Rinnegan. Like how Kaguya's third eye bears the power of the Sharingan as well. Sasuke was able to cast augumented genjutsu that could control the Tailed Beasts:

Later, Sasuke demonstrated the ability to utilize the Six Paths Technique. He was also able to master the five elements and Yin-Yang Release as stated by the Fourth Databook as well as seal the Tailed Beasts' chakra into his Susano'o, like the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path. He was able to reach Hagoromo's level with that.

Hagoromo's inheritors: Six Paths Technique, ability to control Tailed Beasts and assimilate their chakra into his Susano'o, mastery of the five elements and Yin-Yang.
Kaguya's inheritors: Space-time ninjutsu, Retains Sharingan abilities and genjutsu
Other:
In addition, Sasuke has been provided with a Rinnegan with tomoe because that is required to end Infinite Tsukuyomi. If he had two or one Rinnegan without tomoe, he probably would not be able to undo Infinite Tsukuyomi. His six tomoe shows that he still requires the help of Naruto, who has the Tailed Beasts' chakra.
The Future of Sasuke's Rinnegan:
Based on what I have said above, he may either develop a second Rinnegan with/without tomoe or a nine tomoe Rinnegan in his left eye.
