State GST Codes

State GST codes change as per changes in the status of states and union territories. Under the new GST regime, every registered business is assigned a Goods and Services Tax Identification Number (GSTIN) that is unique to their business. It is a 15-digit provisional ID that helps streamline invoicing to improve efficiency in tax filing.

The 15-digit GSTIN comprises of a 2-digit state code, 10-digit PAN number, 2-digit alphanumeric number signifying the total number of registrations in the state (the second being Z by default), and lastly, a 1-digit checksum value to detect errors (either number of the alphabet).

List of GST State Codes

The GST state code which constitutes the first two digits of the Goods and Services Tax Identification Number is prescribed by the Indian Census of 2011. As of January 26, 2020, it can be any number between 01 to 38.
