When a business is while migrating towards a GST registration or going for a new registration, the business is required to receive a 15 digit provisional ID or GSTIN (Goods and Services Tax Identification Number). This shall make certain that the suppliers quote the right GSTIN number in their invoices together with the invoices given towards consumers because the input tax credit relies on this due diligence.
In the 15 digit ID, the 2 two-digit of every GSTIN number signifies the ‘State Code’ where the taxpayer is registered. A 2 digit state code has been allotted to each state in India towards getting the details of origin as well as consumption of Goods and Services.
