GST applicability - Medical rehabilitation services

On a general basis, healthcare related services are exempt in GST regime. However there are some exceptions to the same. It depends on the details/facts/ nitty-gritty of each case. In my humble opinion, it is advisable to consult a tax expert instead of discussing in the forum.

The definition of health care services does not cover services by rehabilitation centre.

However, when activities relating to 'care/counseling of persons with severe physical/mental disability' is made BY A CHARITABLE TRUST registered u/s 12AA of the income tax act 1961, it will qualify for exemption as they are specified charitable activities.

Also, rehabilitation, therapy or counseling services provided by rehabilitation professionals recognised under rehabilitation council of India Act, AT MEDICAL ESTABLISHMENTS, EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS, REHABILITATION CENTERS ESTABLISHED BY CG/SG/UT OR ENTITY REGISTERED UNDER 12AA OF INCOME TAX ACT 1961, will qualify for exemption as they are covered in a different entry.

1) If your friend does not fall in any of the above categories, then services provided by her would be taxable.

2) Aggregate turnover limit for registration under GST in case of services provided from:
Manipur, Mizoram, Nagaland & Tripura- ₹10 lakhs
All states other than above- ₹20 lakhs.

Hi Srinivas

As per serial no 74A of notification 12/2017-CTR which is the service exemption notification it seems to be exempt from GST too:

Services provided by rehabilitation professionals recognised under the Rehabilitation Council of India Act, 1992 (34 of 1992) by way of rehabilitation, therapy or counselling and such other activity as covered by the said Act at medical establishments, educational institutions, rehabilitation centers established by Central Government, State Government or Union territory or an entity registered under section 12AA of the Income-tax Act, 1961 (43 of 1961).

If not, even the person supplying the rehab services can be said to be a authorised medical practitioner exemption under serial no. 74 may be available. If values are significant and notice is issued, suggest to obtain written opinion and litigate the matter. Exemptions will be available for such activities. 

I also have the same question I am a special educator registered under RCI (Rehabilation council of India) does I need to pay GST above 20 lacs receipts.No one is apple to answer my question correctly till date 

 

If you are covered under sl 74A or 74 of notification 12/2017-CTR then exemption is available and registration and payment of GST is not required. 

Can you please share clause 74a as i resides from karnal and no one is able to clear my query here.So its my humble request to guide me in this case.I will be highly obliged if you will help me in this case.

 

Regards
