I am a retired Engineer and was retained by an unit operating from SEZ to provide technical advise to the engineers supplying technical solution to their customer located at Europe. I was retained rom end may 2017 to Aug 2017 for which toatal remuneration may work ou to Rs 1.5 lakhs. When I wanted to raise Invoice I was asked to get GST registration as per rules saying any vendor supporting the firms at SEZ needs to have GSTIN irrespective of the threshold limit fixed for individual professional/Business Now the firm is asking to get LUT/Bond . In absence of these documents I am not allowed to submit any invoices. I am not the exporter but gave technical advice to engineers working in the firm by way of brain storming/training. What should I do ? Please help.
