Healthcare accounting in Pune is complex because hospitals and clinics provide a mix of GST-exempt clinical services (diagnosis, treatment, care) and taxable non-clinical services (pharmacy sales to outpatients, room rent above Rs 5,000/day, canteen services to visitors, cosmetic procedures). The GST Commissionerate, Pune actively scrutinises this exempt-versus-taxable split, and incorrect classification triggers demand notices under Section 73/74 of the CGST Act. Patron Accounting's Pune office at Wagholi provides specialised healthcare accounting to hospitals, clinics, and medical practices across the city.
