    <title>Pharmacy Division Income of Hospital Exempt Under Section 11(1) as Essential Part of Charitable Healthcare Services</title>
    <link>https://www.taxtmi.com/highlights?id=85862</link>
    <description>ITAT ruled that pharmacy division income of appellant hospital qualifies for exemption under Section 11(1) of Income Tax Act. The tribunal determined pharmacy operations were integral to hospital&#039;s dominant charitable purpose, not a separate business activity requiring distinct accounting under Section 11(4A). Following precedent in Jaslok Hospital case, ITAT found pharmacy services essential for both inpatient care and OPD treatment, directly supporting hospital&#039;s philanthropic objectives. The surplus from pharmacy operations was utilized for trust&#039;s charitable purposes. Accordingly, ITAT directed deletion of AO&#039;s addition, maintaining hospital&#039;s tax-exempt status for pharmacy division income.</description>
