GST State Codes List in India
The GST taxpayer gets the GST number after registering with GST. The first 2 digits in the registration number are the state code. The GST State Codes are used to identify the state of the GST registered entity. These codes are also useful while raising invoices in GST and filing GST returns.
The Tax-payers who have business across multiple states will have multiple GSTN. It will be easy to identify the location with the state code even though the name of the taxpayer remains the same. In order to avoid mistakes in the wrong GSTN mention, it’s an easy process to verify the state code apart from the PAN followed by the state codes.
