Hi
Let me help you out regarding the tests
HBSAg is to check for Hepatitis B infection
Chest X-ray to rule out any respiratory ailment and also will assess if you are a smoker.
Typhoid WIDAL is to check for typhoid fever.
Urine routine for any urinary infection.
Bile pigments to check your liver status.
Blood grouping and Rh typing primarily for documentation and in case of emergencies for blood transfusion
Stool check for any gut infection.
These are routine tests usually before a job to rule out any infection at the time of your joining and also for documentation purpose for your health insurance which the company may provide.
