Drop IGST on import of oxygen concentrators, Delhi HC tells Centre

The Delhi High Court on Wednesday asked the finance ministry to consider exempting oxygen concentrators imported by individuals for personal use from integrated goods and services tax. At present, such imports are subject to 12% IGST while concentrators imported for charity are exempt from the tax. The court’s order came a day after it heard a petition challenging the imposition of IGST on import of oxygen generators and oxygen concentrators as a gift for personal use.
