Respected Sir / Madam, Will somebody please clear picture on GST Registration applicability for Advocates.
So far as my knowledge is concerned, GST Registration for Individual Advocate (Not Being Senior) Advocate is Exempted but if any Individual Advocate obtaining legal assistance services like appearing in various courts on his behalf / counseling etc. from other Advocates or Advocate Firms (having following two turnover scenario) during the year are liable for obtaining GST Registration & have to pay GST under Reverse Charge.
1) Individual Advocate(Not being senior Advocate) having Annual Turnover of Rs. 9.25 lakhs 2) Individual Advocate (Not being senior Advocate) having Annual Turnover of Rs.1.50 crores.

As per Entry No. 45 of Notification 12/2017 - Legal services provided by an advocate ( other than a senior advocate ) or firm of advocates to an advocate or firm of advocates is exempted .and both are not liable to pay GST under RCM
Hence , In my view , Turnover of individual advocate is not relevant in your case is not relevant
