    <title>Procurement and logistics of medicines as pure services to government qualify for nil rate GST under local government health functions.</title>
    <link>https://www.taxtmi.com/highlights?id=96831</link>
    <description>Services consisting of procurement, logistics and assured supply of quality medicines to government health facilities qualify as &quot;pure services&quot; intrinsically linked to health and sanitation functions entrusted to local government bodies. Rule 33 CGST (valuation of pure agent) cannot be read to define &quot;pure services,&quot; and is irrelevant to that classification. Because the activities fall within functions of Panchayats and Municipalities concerning public health, such pure services supplied to the State attract nil-rate GST under Sl. No. 3 of Notification No. 12/2017 CT (Rate); the appellant is therefore entitled to the exemption.</description>
