What is GST number (GSTIN)?

A GST Number, also called GSTIN (Goods and Services Tax Identification Number), is a 15-digit unique identification number issued to GST-registered businesses in India.

The GST number is used to:

• Identify GST-registered taxpayers

• Track GST compliance

• Verify the legal identity of a business

• Check GST active status during vendor or customer verification

GST number format (GSTIN structure)

A GST number (GSTIN) follows a standard 15-digit format, where each part has a specific meaning:

• First 2 digits – State code where the business is registered

• Next 10 characters – PAN of the business or individual

• 13th digit – Entity number of the PAN holder in the same state

• 14th digit – Alphabet Z (default)

• 15th digit – Check digit used for error detection

Understanding the GST number format helps you quickly identify whether a GSTIN is structurally valid before verification.
