| The Supreme Court has ruled that Tata Main Hospital in Jamshedpur, a division of Tata Steel, is not liable to pay sales tax on the amount charged for medicines administered during the course of treatment of non-employee patients. |

| The court dismissed the Jharkhand government’s petition challenging the Ranchi high court’s judgement that held the supply of medicines, surgical items, vaccines, x-ray films and plates by Tata Main Hospital to its non-employee indoor patients was part and parcel and incidental to the medical services rendered to these patients. | |
