GST applicability on payment

I am (Indian firm) expecting a payment from an overseas company (U.S.A) against professional services rendered.
The payment currency will be INR.
Could anyone please tell me if GST is applicable in this case or not?

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies GST applicability for an Indian firm receiving payment in INR from a US company for professional services. The consensus is that this constitutes an export of service under GST. Depending on whether the firm has a Letter of Undertaking (LUT), they can either provide the service without paying GST (mentioning the LUT number on the invoice) or pay IGST and claim a refund later. This applies provided the US company is not a sister concern of the Indian firm.

What type of services you have provided ?.
Clinical research services
Services provided out of India is treated as export of service and same is Zero rated under GST and two methods to export .

1) You can export with payment of IGST and later on claim refund .

2) You can export with LUT ( Latter of Under taking ) without payment of tax , subject to conditions.
also company in USA should not be sister concern of Your Indian company.
Ok, thank you very much for your time and assistance Mr. Prasad.
Have a nice day! :)

This is termed as export of service under GST. If you have LUT then you can provide this service without payment of GST (Do mention LUT number on the bill in this case). If you do not have LUT then you can sell by paying IGST and claim the IGST amount as refund
