Additionally, a "Provisional Bill" or a "Final Bill" given by a vendor to a Consumer is merely a memo and not a contract, because it typically does not have any terms and conditions of a binding contract. However, an "Invoice", especially a "Commercial Invoice", is a contract between the Consumer and the vendor because it has terms and conditions that explicitly define, by when and how, the Consumer is to fulfill the stipulated payments to the vendor, in consideration for the "fairly charged" goods or services rendered by the vendor, as per the Consumer's and the vendor's expected quality of the business transaction. The terms and conditions conveyed through an invoicing mechanism establish the rights, responsibilities, and liabilities belonging to each of the stakeholders that are a party to the business transaction including third-party suppliers and regulators. As such, vendors or suppliers of commercial goods and services can circumvent legal ramifications of statutes concerning their promissory and contractual obligations, to a Customer or a Consumer, by avoiding an invoicing mechanism in their commercial operations, while taking undue advantages of naive Consumers.

Especially in the healthcare and pharmaceutical industry, where the life and limb of a patient or care-recipient are at stake, the fair practice of furnishing a proper invoice to a Consumer would rightly respect the patient's safety and wellness ***as a priority,*** while giving the patient and the next-of-kin or the guardian, the rightful opportunity to have a fair remedy to any disputed or unfairly charged items, when required. A proper invoicing mechanism would simultaneously preserve the corporate rights, responsibilities, and indemnities of the provider of healthcare goods and services. In this way, the healthcare goods and services sold by a vendor in earnest and in good-faith to Consumer through invoicing, would allow the hospital or healthcare provider to receive a fair sales price and revenue, from properly serviced and satisfied Consumer, whereby those Consumer would honour the terms and conditions of the invoicing mechanism, also, in earnest and in good-faith.

If the practice of holding a student or a child, as a piece of collateral property by a school or a college were practiced in the education industry, for coercing the parents to pay suddenly surcharged tuition fees for securing the release of their child, then the punishable and criminal nature of that type of kidnapping would be more obvious to law enforcement agencies. However, somehow, the predatory and organized activity of holding patients or dead bodies as collateral for suddenly increased post-paid services, to force the next-of-kin or the guardian, to pay surcharged amounts for securing the release of their family member or the family member's body, from a healthcare provider, has been flying under the radar of the police and the [National Accreditation Board for Hospitals & Healthcare Providers (NABH).](https://nabh.co/introduction-a4/)

It is evident that a corporation's systemic policy of holding a patient as leverage, by using the hospital's enterprise resources to potentially or actually force the patient into confinement, for debt collection, is entirely preemptively in bad-faith, against all Consumers from the public at large. It is plainly clear that these types of crimes entailed within existing trade practices of <ins>certain</ins> healthcare providers in India's medical and pharmaceuticals industry, directly constitute violations of medical ethos, and of industry-wide managerial best practices. Such punishable offenses occurring due to deliberate trade practices of those culpable healthcare providers are a form of professional malpractice, that violates and abuses the Basic Human Rights, Fundamental Rights, Consumer Rights, as well as the Civil Rights belonging to people from the general public. Worst of all, a systemic policy of treating human beings as chattel for debt collection, directly constitutes the statutory crime of "Avaidh Vasooli" (अवैध वसूली), i.e. unlawful money collection via the organized crime of extortion, by using duress, coercion, threats, and the blackmail of keeping the vulnerable patient confined till the demanded payments are made by forcefully subdued Consumers.
