Hi
The condition is laid down in Rule 3A of Income Tax Rule.
Since the Commissioner is not having adequate knowledge about functioning of the hospital they make a request to govt authority for arranging one qualified person (a doctor) to the visit the hospital along-with their team usually comprising of AC, Inspector and ITO.
Application for exemption should be made at the charge according to registered office address of assess. However the doctor should be from local jurisdiction under Chief Medical office - Health Dept.(CMOH)
Upon completion of successful inspection the Doctor will forward a report to ITO mostly comprising the points covered under Rule 3A. ITO will forward a similar report to AC upon receipt of the technical conformity / non conformity and then he will send it to commissioner. In case of any deficiency, process need to re-visited upon intimation by the department to assessee.
Once recommendation is received from Commissioner , CCIT (Exemption) will issue order for type of diseases covered (prescribed in Rule 3A) and period of exemption. Process of renewal is repetition of above.
However please advise to the person to have enough set of shoes for shuttling between various touch points !! Its one of toughest process I have come across many times . . .
Thanks
Best Regards
