Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the export of services under GST when a data analyst invoices in foreign currency via Upwork but receives payment in INR. It confirms this is indeed an export of services. The value of the service should be determined using the RBI reference rate, not the INR amount received directly. Having a LUT means no GST needs to be paid upfront.

Yes it is classified as export of services under GST. You should convert the value using RBI reference rate

Does he need to receive payment through Vostro account if he is receiving payment in INR directly in his account ?
