I am a doctor and run a Day care clinic based at Pune in Maharashtra in which I provide health services for my patients.
My question is whether I need to file GST return and pay GST for the products I use to provide my service. I am aware of the following points:
1. GST registration is not required as my turnover is less than INR 20 Lakh per annum.
2. GST on medical services is 0%. I think this includes my consultation fees.
3. I am using products like IV bottles, Injection Syringes, medicines for which I pay the GST amount as informed by my supplier.
4. I am not retailing any medicines, as all of them are given on prescription.
Are all the medicines, IV bottles, Injections and tablets being used in the clinic considered under the consultation fees? Thus I do not need to consider them as separate sales? And since my turnover is less than 20 lakhs; since they are not separate sales, I do not need to register for GST and file GST?
Or do I need to show them as separate sales and thus register for GST?
