Ans 1. 

i)  You do not need to register under GST if your total receipts are upto 20 lacs. 

ii)  You do not need to register under GST even if your total receipts are exceeding 20 lacs but you are providing services exclusively to your foreign clients and receiving money in convertible foreign exchange.

Ans 2. No need of manipulation.

Ans 3. At present you are not required to register under GST.

Thanks!

Can you provide some exact quoting from GST council or so for me to keep it as evidence for not mandatory registration?

Regards.

Chanda ji,

As per 23rd GST Council Meet on 10th November 2017

Service providers providing services on e-commerce platforms  are exempted from registration if their annual turnover is below 20 lakhs (10 lakhs for Special states. 20 lakhs for J&K).

Sec 22 of CGST Act read with Notification No.65/2017 – Central Tax (attached herewith) and Sec 23 of CGST Act read with Sec 2(6) of IGST Act i.e definition of Export of Services.
