Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies GST applicability on medicines sold by private hospital pharmacies. Generally, sales to outpatients are subject to GST and eligible for ITC. However, sales to inpatients are typically exempt from GST, and ITC cannot be claimed. The specific tax treatment can also depend on whether the pharmacy is registered separately from the hospital.

1. Sales of medicines to inpatients - NO GST AND NO ITC

2. Sales of medicines to outpatients - GST applicable and ITC eligible

It will depend whether pharmacy is registered as a separate person or is it registered with hospital. If separate then GST payable on every sale. If with hospital then sale to outpatient taxable, inpatients not taxable.
