Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies whether the GST threshold limit is applicable for services rendered by an Indian firm to foreign students, even if the gross receipts are below ₹20 lakhs. The consensus is that these services qualify as exports and are therefore subject to 0% GST. No GST registration is required if receipts are below the threshold, and voluntary registration is an option. However, opting for GST voluntarily offers no benefit if no GST is charged, and refunds are only applicable if tax was paid on exports.

12 April 2025 No GST is applicable on your services as they qualify as exports (0% GST).

No GST registration is required since your gross receipts are below Rs. 20 lakhs.

Optional: You may register voluntarily if you wish.

12 April 2025 no point in taking GST optionally as ITC also does not benefit if you are not charging GST! for services, refund too is applicable only if tax was paid while exporting.
