Purposive interpretation of residential house exemption: unregistered purchase agreement alone does not defeat relief, but investment must be verified...
Inpatient treatment supplies, including medicines, consumables, room accommodation within the prescribed limit, nursing care and other ancillary elements, were held to form a naturally bundled composite supply of healthcare service. As the principal supply is healthcare service by a clinical establishment in a recognised system of medicine, the inpatient bundle falls within Entry No. 74 of Notification No. 12/2017-Central Tax (Rate) and is exempt, subject to the specific exclusion for room rent. Medicines or other goods supplied to outpatients were held to be separate taxable supplies because they are not supplied as part of a continuous, hospital-controlled treatment bundle. Non-ICU room rent exceeding the notified threshold was also held outside the exemption and liable to GST.
