Do you have the GSTIN of a company and wish to cross-verify its authenticity and credibility. Keep reading on!

Checking a company’s trustworthiness is a vital first step in developing a working relationship with any organisation. Although most businesses look attractive on a cursory glance by advertising to consumers with only the most basic and most positive information. Knowing the people, products, and track record of the company you want to purchase products from increases the likelihood that you will get what you pay for. One of the best ways of ensuring that a company is what it says it is and is run by who it says it is being run by is to verify its GST number. But what is the GST number? And how to find the details of a company by GST number? Let’s find out.

 

What Is the GST Identification Number?

The new GST system effectively combines many registration numbers for various indirect taxes such as excise tax, service tax, and VAT, among others, into a single registration number known as GSTIN. A GSTIN is a 15-digit unique identification number based on a PAN that is issued to each GST-registered individual. Likewise, it is furnished to taxpayers upon completion of their GST registration process. It is printed on all invoices sent and received by registered taxpayers and organizations.

GST Number Format

The GSTIN format is broken down as follows:

• The state code is represented by the first two numbers. Each state has its own code. For example, Telangana’s state code is 36, while Tamil Nadu’s state code is 33.
• The next ten numbers are the GST registered taxpayer’s PAN number.
• Moreover, the thirteenth digit, known as the entity code, is determined by the number of registrations in a state.
• By default, the penultimate digit will be the letter ‘Z.’
• The last digit might be either an alphabet or a number. It is also known as a check code.
