The Authority for Advance Rulings in Gujarat has held that health care services offered by hospitals for years on a lump-sum payment are exempt from the GST.
The ruling was delivered on an application by Divyajivan Healthcare LPP, which proposes to establish a multi-super specialty hospital and provide health care services to patients.
The applicant devised a plan for providing health care services for the next 20 years for which a lump-sum amount, say, Rs 10 lakh, will be charged.
Under the plan the services will be provided to the family — member, spouse and up to two children (age below 21 years).
