When you register for Goods and Services Tax (GST), you will be given a unique GST Identification Number (GSTIN). This 15-digit number is used to identify you as a taxpayer and to track your transactions. The first two digits of your GSTIN indicate the state in which you are registered.

For example, if your GSTIN starts with "07," you are registered in the state of Maharashtra.

Decoding the GSTIN:

The GSTIN is divided into five parts:

• State code: The first two digits of the GSTIN indicate the state in which the business is registered.
• PAN: The next ten digits are the Permanent Account Number (PAN) of the business.
• Entity code: The thirteenth digit is an entity code that indicates the type of business.
• Check digit: The fourteenth digit is a check digit that is used to verify the accuracy of the GSTIN.
• Letter: The fifteenth digit is a letter that is used to distinguish between multiple GSTINs for the same business.
