Frequently asked questions

What is the GSTIN format?

A GSTIN is 15 characters: a two-digit state code, the ten-character PAN of the entity, an entity number, the letter Z, and a check digit.

Does it verify the check digit?

Yes. It validates the structure and the final checksum character, catching most typos.

Does a valid GSTIN mean the business is registered?

No. A valid format and checksum do not confirm active registration. Verify status on the official GST portal before relying on it.

What do the first two digits mean?

They are the state code from the Indian census, identifying the state of registration.

Can one PAN have multiple GSTINs?

Yes. A business registered in several states gets a separate GSTIN per state, each built on the same PAN.

Is any data uploaded?

No. Validation runs locally in your browser.
