Working in two states and total turnover below threshold limit, but voluntarily registered in one

I have a rental property in Telangana and working as professional (Doctor) in Maharashtra. My total income from Leasing Business in Telangana is Rs.10 lakh per year in Telangana and income under 194J professional fees in Maharashtra is 9 lakhs per year. Though not mandatory, I voluntarily registered myself in the state of Telangana in GST (Regular). I am charging the lease rental income with GST and paying the same to the Government. As regards income in Maharashtra under 194J I am neither charging the GST nor paying it to the Govt.

My query is whether in Maharashtra also, do I need to charge GST on professional fees and get myself registered in Maharashtra?

Thanks in advance
