This discussion clarifies GST requirements and necessary documentation for Indian transporters offering services to foreign clients, with billing in dollars. The consensus is that GST is applicable, but no additional registration beyond an Importer-Exporter Code (IEC) is needed for internal transport services within India, even when payments are received in foreign currency.
We are transporter, if any transportation services provided to foreign client from any particular place in India to Nhava Sheva Port or any other port in India. Billing will raised in dollars to foreign client.
1) Any other registration documents is required by us other than than IEC 2) Is GST is exempt or not.
