Where there is no GST output on account of exempt supply, there is no option of GST refund. Refund arises in cases where there is zero rated supply, i.e. supplies to SEZ, Exports or in special cases such as inverted duty structure (ITC on inputs only).
Where any machinery is used to provide exempt and taxable supplies - ITC can be claimed as per section 17 r/w Rule 43 (computation to be as per the Rules).
Generally medical products fall under 5%, 12% and 18%, therefore appropriate classification of procurements could reduce cost.
