I am an independent consultant from Pune providing IT consultancy services to a client in Europe. I have registered a sole proprietorship registered and I send an invoice monthly and get payment after forex conversion. My annual income exceeded 20 lakhs last year. I came to know that I am required to get a GST registration now. But I live in a rented apartment and my landlord has refused to provide NOC. I have heard that GST registration using virtual offices are often rejected and getting a commercial space just for GST is expensive (10-12 k per month). Am I required to apply for GST even though I am exporting my services outside India? If yes, is there any easy way to get GST registration? Please advise. Appreciate help from experts here.

GST mandatory when exporting services?
Replies (1)
GST registration is compulsory for export of services regardless of turnover. Exports are zero-rated, so no GST is payable, but registration and LUT are mandatory. Landlord NOC is not legally required; a rent agreement and utility bill are sufficient. Use your residential address or a co-working space—avoid cheap virtual offices.
