I am a freelance software developer. Do I have to register for GST if my revenue is above 20 lakhs but all my earnings are from clients located abroad? I do not have any clients in India.

Yes, you have to get GST registration if your turnover crosses Rs. 20 lakhs. If all your clients are located outside India - it will be treated as export of services which is taxable at 0%.
Note-
- For export of services to be taxed @ 0% a Letter of Undertaking (LuT) is required to be issued on the portal after registration.
- For issuing LuT you must fulfil certain conditions while transacting with your clients.
Hence, I would recommend you to consult a tax professional to guide you with GST registration & its compliances.
Hope this helps!
