GST on Export of Services by Indian Resident

One of my client who is resident of India is giving sevices of consultancy to Australian company and will be receiving Australian dollars in return for Invoice received in India.
He will be migrating to Australia for the next Financial year which will make him a non-resident
For the current financial year his receipts will not be crossing 20 Lakhs. Does he need to pay GST on the receipts received and does he have to take GST Registration?
pls advice.

Quick Summary
An Indian resident providing consultancy services to an Australian company is seeking clarity on Goods and Services Tax (GST) obligations. Despite projected receipts not exceeding 20 lakhs, they are unsure if GST registration and payment are required for services rendered while they are still an Indian resident. The discussion highlights that such exports are considered inter-state supplies and may necessitate compulsory GST registration as per Section 24 of the CGST Act, even if the turnover threshold isn't met.

As per Section 7(5) of IGST Act the supply of services shall be treated as Inter State supply and as per Section 24 the service provider has to take registration compulsory.
But what about the fact that his turnover will not be crossing 20 Lakhs, still registration is mandatory? M confused on this part.

As the services are "Zero" rated has to proceed as per Section 16 of IGST Act.

Section 24 of CGST Act refers Compulsory registration in Certain Cases.  This case is covering the section.
