Sorry if this appears as a repetitive question. I could not find a direct answer to my questions and hence this post. Most posts go about opening a current account, LUT, 44ADA etc.
I am an individual offering a monthly subscription based software solution to a customer in the US.
I do not have any entity setup here in India (yet). I just have my PAN.
I am assuming that I can just email them the invoice on a monthly basis and ask them to wire transfer the amount to my given savings bank account with ICICI or HDFC (through Wise or Swift etc - depending on the customer).
I do not have any income at the moment. So, this will be my only income, which will be less than 12L per year.
Questions
Is it OK to just email the invoice and collect the money into my bank account as described above?
I will declare this amount as my total income. My income will be less than 12L and hence my ITR1 will have no tax. Is this correct?
I want to avoid setting up a company, gst registration etc at this point in time (atleast until I see some future prospects of stable and increasing income). Can I continue with my income declaration with ITR1? (don't want to go into 44ADA etc upfront now).
Anything else thst I should be aware of? From my perspective and from my customer's perspective?
