Hello,
I am a freelancer providing consultancy and programming websites.
All of my clients stay outside India and I get payment via WIRE transfer in foreign exchange which gets converted to INR by my bank.
1) I understand that service I provide is zero-rated, but as inter-state suppliers are necessary to be registered under GST, how do I get registered with GST?
I am self-employed and work from my home, I only have a bank current account, an internal bill as address proof.
What documents would I need to get registered?
2) Once I am registered, I read that to claim input, I will have to submit FIRC to the GST authorities.
When I asked my bank about issuing FIRC, they sent me a circular from FEDAI (Special Circular SPL-04) https://www.pnbnet.in/itc/2016/ibd/circulars/2016/fex2016027.pdf
Which says they cannot issue a FIRC.
What can I do about this, is FIRC required to get input?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.
