Dear Sir, A Partnership Firm whose business is On Line Free Lancing Job, i.e. they give online advice to foreign clients and they have no purchase as they give online advice to clients. They come under the service sector and are exempt from GST. My question is how many GST Returns they have to file and whether the Returns have to be filed monthly or quarterly. There turnover is below Rs. 1.50 crores.

Advisory to foreign clients meeting Sec 2(6) IGST Act (payment in convertible foreign exchange or INR as permitted by RBI) is a zero-rated export, not exempt; file an LUT each year to export without IGST, and under current rules you may opt for QRMP (AATO up to Rs 5 cr) and file GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B quarterly.
