Inpatient healthcare services provided by hospitals are generally exempt from GST in India. This exemption typically covers diagnosis, treatment, and care for patients. However, any medicines or taxable consumables used during hospitalisation may attract GST if billed separately. If these are part of a composite supply for inpatient care, they are usually exempt along with the main healthcare service.
All healthcare services by a clinical establishment or authorised medical practitioner by way of diagnosis or treatment or care for illness, injury, deformity, abnormality, pregnancy are currently exempt from GST.Once this segregation happens, medicines used during hospitalisation would also attract tsx.
Where healthcare services are provided to inpatients all services including that of food and medicines shall form part of the main supply of healthcare services as composite supply and will be exempt.
If composite supply then the supply under exempted... If segregated or separate billings then it's taxable supply as per suplies rate. Healthcare services only exempted...
Agree with CA Altamush reply. The principal supply is healthcare services , hence any other supply iie food, medicine are ancillary covered under Principal supply of Health care services.
