Kovai Medical Centre & Hospital Ltd., P.B.No.3209, Avanashi Road, Coimbatore-641 014 – Non-fulfilment of post-importation conditions – Adjudication of Show Cause Notice F.No.S30/469/96/99-ACC(Med.Cell) dated 24.07.2000 – Reg. ************* BRIEF FACTS This order emanates from Show Cause Notice F.No.S30/469/96/99- ACC(Med.Cell) dated 24.07.2000 (hereinafter "the SCN"), issued under Section 124 of the Customs Act, 1962 by the then Commissioner of Customs (Airport), Air Cargo Complex, Meenambakkam, Chennai-27 read with Corrigendum dated 18.09.2026 issued to M/s. Kovai Medical Centre & Hospital Ltd., P.B.No.3209, Avanashi Road, Coimbatore-641 014 (hereinafter "the hospital"/"the noticee"). 2. The hospital had imported medical equipment through Air Cargo Complex, Chennai during the period 1990 to 1993 under 20 Bills of Entry listed in Annexure-I to the SCN, having a total assessable value of Rs.4,52,89,841/-, by availing the benefit of Customs Notification No.64/88-Cus. dated 01.03.1988 ("Notification No.64/88"). The goods were provisionally assessed to Nil rate of duty pending production of Customs Duty Exemption Certificates ("CDEC") issued by the Directorate General of Health Services ("DGHS") and installation certificates; the importer subsequently produced the CDECs, the bonds were cancelled (in 1992, as recorded in the SCN) and the goods stood cleared at Nil rate of duty under Notification No.64/88. 3. As per conditions of Notification No. 64/1988 dated 01.03.1988: As per Table-2 read with para 2 of Notification No.64/88 (the SCN refers to the hospital as categorised under Sl.No.4(b) in the CDEC; DGHS treats it as a category (2) institution – the conditions applicable are the same), hospitals certified by the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare and issued CDEC by DGHS are required, inter alia, to: GEN/ADJ/CLBK/28/2026-GR 5B-O/O PR COMMR-CUS-ACC-CHENNAI I/4836113/2026 (a) give free treatment, on an average, to at least 40% of all their outdoor patients; (b) give free treatment to all indoor patients belonging to families with an income of less than Rs.500/- per month, and to keep for this purpose at least 10% of the hospital beds reserved for such patients; (c) give treatment at reasonable charges, either on the basis of the income of the patients concerned or otherwise, to patients other than those specified in (a) & (b) above. 4. The Hon'ble Supreme Court has observed in the judgement in the Mediwell Hospital Vs Union of India reported as ELT 1997(89), ELT 27425(SC) case that " the very notification granting exemption must be construed to cast continuing obligation on the part of all those who have obtained the certificate from the appropriate authority and on that basis to have imported equipment’s without payment of Customs duty to give free treatment at least to 40% of the outdoor patients as well as to give free treatment to all the indoor patients belonging to the families with an income of less than Rs.500/- p.m. The competent authority, therefore, should continue to be vigilant and check whether the undertakings given by the applicants are being duly complied with after getting the benefit of the exemption notification and importing the equipment without payment of Customs duty and if on such enquiry the authorities are satisfied that the continuing obligation are not being carried out then it would be fully open to the authority .to ask the duty payable in respect of the equipment’s which have been imported without payment of Customs duty" 5.
