What Is Healthcare Accounting

Specialised financial management of hospitals, clinics, diagnostic centres, pharmacies, and medical trusts - covering revenue segregation (GST-exempt clinical vs taxable non-clinical), trust compliance (S.11, 12, 12A), and regulatory reporting under Clinical Establishments Act 2010. For Mumbai hospitals: Form 10B trust audit, S.41AA bed accounting, GST exemption management.

A charitable hospital in Bandra must segregate: OPD (exempt), IPD (exempt), pharmacy retail (5-18% GST), room rent > Rs 5,000/day (5% GST), canteen to non-patients (18%). Simultaneously: 85% income application S.11, Form 10B before ITR-7, S.41AA bed reservation records for Charity Commissioner, and 80G donation accounting. A standalone diagnostic lab in Andheri charges 18% GST with ITC claims. This dual treatment within a single campus makes CA involvement essential.

Key Terms for Healthcare Accounting in Mumbai:

Sl.74 Exemption: Healthcare by clinical establishments EXEMPT. Room rent > Rs 5,000/day (non-ICU) = 5% GST no ITC. Cosmetic (non-restoration) = 18%. Pharmacy retail = variable GST.

S.41AA: Maharashtra charitable hospitals > Rs 5L expenditure = 20% beds (10% free + 10% concessional). Charity Commissioner Mumbai oversight.

Trust Audit S.12A(1)(b): Income > Rs 2.5L = CA audit + Form 10B/10BB before ITR-7.

S.194J TDS: 10% on visiting consultant doctors. Mumbai hospitals engage 50-100+ visiting specialists.

No ITC Rule: Equipment for exempt services = no ITC. Mixed services: proportionate ITC under Rule 42/43.
