Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies whether GST registration is mandatory for businesses exporting services, even if they don't claim Input Tax Credit (ITC) and have zero-rated supplies. The consensus is that registration is mandatory once the turnover threshold is exceeded, as export of services is liable to GST. Failure to register on time can result in penalties, and professional advice is recommended to avoid future complications.

E invoice
E way Bill

Thank you for the reply.

Is there any way registration is not required if I am not liable for paying GST?

What if not registered on time. Will there be a penalty for late registration?

How will be the penalty calculated since it cannot be any percent of the GST because of the Zero-rated supply?

My Income comes under the OIDAR service. Should I still be mandatory to register if all my clients are outside India (Export of service)

Export of service is not exempt from GST. It is liable to tax under GST.

The Export of service can be done without payment of tax under cover of LUT so in case of none registration you would be liable for penalty

All supply made by you is liable to tax and you may be charged interest along with the tax due on the same.

Hire a professional consultant to avoid litigation and heavy penalty in future.
