GST (Goods and Services Tax) is applicable on laboratory tests in India.
1. GST rate: - 5% GST is applicable on laboratory tests, including diagnostic services -
However, some specific tests or services might be exempt or subject to a different GST rate

Healthcare services are exempt from GST vide Notification No. 12/2017 - Central Tax (Rate), dated June 28, 2017. Therefore, I think that pathological tests, diagnostic tests etc. should not be chargeable to GST.
Please share specific notifications, and sections in support of your contentions. Also please share the SAC code under which you are considering these services as taxable. Thanks

Healthcare services are exempt from GST vide Notification No. 12/2017 - Central Tax (Rate), dated June 28, 2017. Therefore, pathological tests, diagnostic tests, CT Scan, X-ray, MRI etc. should not be chargeable to GST.
Laboratory tests for food items, concrete, steel, etc are chargeable to GST for sure but not those related to health.
