Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies that there are generally no specific income tax benefits for the export of services like recruitment, even when paid in foreign currency. While interest earned on a foreign currency account may be exempt, the proprietor must compute profits and pay tax like any other Indian business entity. It's also noted that GST registration might be mandatory if any income originates from outside your state, regardless of other tax benefits.

There is no export benefit under Income Tax Act for the above nature of services. You will be needed to compute profits in general like an Indian business entity and pay tax accordingly.

No tax benefit.
but interest in foreign currency account is exempt
Thank you all

As others have mentioned, there are no benefits or incentives, beyond what is available to anyone else.

However, regardless of overall income, even if one paisa of your income is from outside of your state, then GST registration and return filing is mandatory.
