GSTIN Validator

Check any GSTIN's format, checksum and state in one step.

Validating a GSTIN checksum

What the 15 characters mean

  • 1–2 — state code (09 is Uttar Pradesh, 27 is Maharashtra)
  • 3–12 — the PAN of the business
  • 13 — entity number for that PAN within the state
  • 14 — always Z, reserved
  • 15 — a check digit computed from the first 14

This tool checks the pattern, the state code and the check digit. It cannot tell you whether a registration is currently active — for that you need the GST portal.
