I am also looking for anwers. Here only income tax is involved or do we need to pay GST also? I am no expert in this. Was just trying to google out answers. Somebody with accounting background/experience as Indian domainer, may advice me.

Points:
"The Delhi bench of the Customs, Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal (CESTAT) has held that no service tax can be levied on the sale of the domain name as it amounts to the sale of goods."
"The domain name is akin to the trademark, making them the property of the person who owns it."

Now if domains are goods, somebody selling it from India to somebody outside India might be treated as Export (??) . If that is the case, you are exempted from GST if you follow do procedure.
