GST Treatment on Sale of E Book from Google Play Books

[AMIT KUMAR]

My client sells e-books through Google Play Books. Students in India, as well as some from outside India, purchase these e-books. Payments are made to Google, which deducts a commission in the USA and then remits the remaining amount to my client in US Dollars.
Could you please advise on the appropriate GST treatment in this scenario?
