31 May 2017 Dispensing physicians were exempt from VAT on medicines dispensed. Under tge new GST regime healthcare services are exempt but GST is charged on medicines. What is the GST locus standi of a dispensing physician / clinic which does not sell medicines but purchases them and dispenses them to own patients and the cost of medicines is included in the package charges along with doctors fee and charges for other services?
