Jodhpur: The Central Goods and Services Tax Department (Central GST) has issued a present trigger discover to All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) Jodhpur for not depositing GST of Rs 100 crore. AIIMS Jodhpur has been constructed by the Central Public Works Department (CPWD).

After receiving the discover, Jodhpur AIIMS administration is consulting tax and monetary advisors on this matter. If the AIIMS administration doesn’t reply to the discover, then it must pay GST.
Patients will likely be hit by tax: Health providers within the nation are GST free. Whatever amenities AIIMS are offering like medical checkup, operation, scientific exams and so forth., GST will not be charged from the affected person on that.
