Good health and good sense are two of life’s greatest blessings. The Indian Healthcare Industry is the largest producer for generics and now among of the major sectors with respect to revenue and to employment. The Pharma and Healthcare Industry has grown significantly and enjoys an important position in the global pharmaceuticals and medical field. As the population continues to grow, the need for better Healthcare Services is also growing and the expenditure on the same is increasing, so do revenues from taxes.
In the pre-GST regime, the health care services were not under the scope of levy of Service Tax. In the GST regime, the Government instead of giving full exemption to health care services, minimized the burden of tax by exempting certain health care services as a welfare measures for the citizen of the country.
