Organization Unit (Mandatory Field)

The Organization Unit for which the GSTIN is being defined. It is unique for each entity.

GSTIN No. (Mandatory Field)

This is a 15 digit unique number and must be specified here in the exact format received from the Government.

• Every taxpayer has been assigned a state-wise PAN-based Goods and Services Taxpayer Identification Number (GSTIN), which is 15 digits long. 

• The first two digits of GSTIN represent the state code according to Indian Census 2011. Each state has a unique two digit code like “27” for Maharashtra and “10” for Bihar. 

• The next ten digits of GSTIN are the PAN number of the taxpayer. 

• The 13th digit indicates the number of registrations an entity has within a state for the same PAN. It is an alpha-numeric number (first 1-9 and then A-Z) and is assigned on the basis of number of registrations a legal entity (having the same PAN) has within one state. For example, if a legal entity has single or one registration only within a state then it is assigned the number “1” as 13th digit of the GSTIN. If the same legal entity gets another or second registration for a second business vertical within the same state, then the 13th digit of GSTIN assigned to this entity becomes “2”. Similarly, if an entity has 11 registrations in the same state then it is assigned letter “B” in the 13th place. This way up to 35 business verticals of any legal entity can be registered within a state using this system. 

• The fourteenth digit currently has no use and therefore is “Z” by default. 

• The last digit is a check code which is used for detection of errors.
