FM Said : Besides, treatment at all air conditioned private hospitals with over 25 beds would be costlier as Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee announced: "I imposed service tax in 2010-11 on health check ups. This caused differential treatment between persons who pay themselves and others where payments are made by insurance companies or a business entity. I therefore propose to replace it with a tax on all services provided by hospitals with 25 or more beds that have the facility of central air conditioning. Though the tax is on high-end treatment, I sweeten the pill by an abatement of 50 per cent so that the actual burden is kept at 5 per cent of the value of the service." This levy has been extended to all diagnostic services as well.

We are SHOCKED on hearing this clause in the Budget Speech of Finance Minister. For any major illness one has to go to the big hospitals as small hospitals have no such facilities. Just ask an ordinary person that how he / she treats the near & dear ones in these big & private hospitals. One has to sell Jewellery, property or similar investments kept for old age to meet the expenses for the treatment of Heart, Cancer, Kidney transplant etc. , all of which have become so common due to adultured food, water and even air.

HOW GOVT. CAN IMPOSE A SERVICE TAX ON THESE EXPENSES.
We request to the PRIME MINISTER of INDIA to look into this.
Thanks
