In short
A pharmacy bill shows the store's name, drug licence number and GSTIN, a bill number and date, the patient's or doctor's name where needed, and for each medicine: name, manufacturer, batch number, expiry date, quantity, MRP, discount and amount. Most medicines carry HSN 3004 and 5% GST since 22 September 2025, with some life-saving drugs exempt. MRP includes GST, so show the tax inside the price.

Frequently asked questions
What GST rate applies to medicines?
Most medicines are taxed at 5% from 22 September 2025, and some specified life-saving drugs are exempt. Check the rate for each product against its HSN code.
Why add batch number and expiry on the bill?
They let the customer, the store and the regulator trace a product if it is recalled, and they are expected on pharmacy bills.
How do I show GST when prices are MRP?
MRP includes GST. Work the tax out of the price: at 5%, GST is MRP × 5 ÷ 105. The free GST calculator does this for you.
