Frequently asked questions

How is a GSTIN structured?

2-digit state code, 10-character PAN, entity number, the letter Z by default, and a check character.

What does the check digit catch?

Almost all single typos and swapped characters, so a wrong GSTIN on an invoice is caught early.

Does it confirm the GSTIN is active?

No. Use ‘Search Taxpayer’ on gst.gov.in for the legal name and status.
