Hyderabad court directs hospitals not to collect registration fee, penalises Apollo

A consumer court in Hyderabad directed the Telangana Commissioner of Health and Family Welfare to take steps to stop hospitals from collecting money in the name of registration fee. Calling it an “unfair and restrictive” practice, the court directed that all hospitals in Hyderabad district must stop collecting registration fees.

The judgement came after a consumer, Vijay Gopal, complained against the Jubilee Hills branch of Apollo Hospitals for charging a registration fee.

The order has also specifically directed the hospital to stop collecting registration fees from patients, and slapped a fine of Rs 3,000 towards litigation cost and Rs 10,000 as compensation on the hospital for the ‘mental agony’ caused to the complainant.
