I run a proprietary technical consultancy in India and come under GST exempted limit. Now I have an opportunity to earn consultancy in foreign currency and even that total value including local earnings will be well under GST exemption limit. I don’t file GST returns nor charge GST to my clients. I regularly file my ITR3 as required. 

Please let me know what all I need to do or follow in terms of GST, Foreign exchange earnings and income tax implications.

I also have the option to opt for billing as an individual rather than a firm.

If the professional fees during the year will be less than Rs. 20 lakhs including domestic and export services, then there is no need for GST registration. 

The billing has to be done as an individual or firm, depends on various factors such as other income, the quantum of fees, NP ratio & nature of expenditure.

In case of any further queries, kindly mail me at casoravgupta @ gmail.com
