Do I really need to register for a GST number especially since GST is not even applicable for international services?

I am based in Mumbai. I will soon start consulting with a company based in London for which they are going to pay me in USD or Pounds. The annual amount when converted to INR will be less than 20 lakhs a year. I understand that GST is not applicable here - which means I don't need to collect or pay GST however I've been told I still need to register for a GST number (I currently do not have one - this is the first time I am operating as a consultant/ non-employee) Do I really need to register for a GST number especially since GST is not even applicable for international services?

( Mumbai, Maharashtra )

All services rendered from India are taxable under GST Act, but you have the option to claim export service exemption, for claim this you have to get it registered with GST. It is mandatory

Dear Client
GST has been a tricky subject for most of us and has gone to the level to be called itself as ESOTERIC in nature. Anyways since the export of services are not covered under the GST hence in my opinion you are not required to collect GST and pay it. Since you are not required to collect hence I do not see any reason for having the GST registration.
But to be very sure about it I would suggest you to have a word with a CA on this as well.
