Start of new business. gst mandatory or not

I am starting a new business of providing manpower services from my office based in Ahmedabad. Once I start, I may have clients located in other states too and provide manpower services to them in other states too. Do i need to do GST registration from very first day of starting the business or I have heard that it is not necessary to do GST registration till Rs. 20lac turnover. Please confirm whether it is true.

Secondy, do I need to apply immediately once turnover reaches Rs. 20 Lacs and what would be the applicable GST rate for my category of services.

Thirdly, I believe that since this is intangible service, how would buyer of my service get input tax credit, if I charge GST from them.

Please help clarify my queries.

Thanks,
