GST Registration if in only do OIDAR Export of service needed?

My business comes under OIDAR with all the income from Export of Service.

What if I do not register for GST?

Is it mandatory to register?

What will be the penalty for not registering or late registering?

Quick Summary
This discussion explores whether GST registration is mandatory for businesses providing OIDAR (Online Information Database Access and Retrieval) services as exports. The user, whose turnover exceeds 50 lakhs, questions the necessity of registration when their services are zero-rated and thus incur no tax liability. The consensus highlights that for OIDAR services, registration is compulsory regardless of turnover, as per Section 24(xi) of the CGST Act.

For OIDAR  Services registration is compulsory  irrespective of the  Turnover , section 24(xi) of the CGST Act . 

What is your turnover?

My turnover is over 50 lakhs.

My doubt is it necessary to register if my tax liability is zero-rated (export of service). I am asking what is the reason to register for GST if I am not liable to pay tax.

I hope I am clear :)
