GSTIN begins with36…

Telangana was carved out of undivided Andhra Pradesh in 2014 and assigned code 36. Its ISO alpha code is TG, but TS is still widely used on vehicle plates and state government forms — both refer to the same state.

How to Read a GSTIN Starting With 36

A GSTIN is 15 characters, and the state code is only the first two. Here is what each part of a Telangana GSTIN carries:

PositionValueMeaning
1–236State code — Telangana. This is the part that identifies where the registration sits.
3–12PANThe 10-character PAN of the business or person registered.
131–9, A–ZHow many registrations that PAN holds in Telangana. Usually 1.
14ZFixed. Always Z in a valid GSTIN.
15check digitA checksum over the first 14 characters. This is what catches a typo.

Two GSTINs beginning 36 therefore belong to two different businesses registered in Telangana — the state code alone never identifies a company. To find out who a number belongs to, look up the GSTIN.

Does a Supply From Telangana Attract CGST + SGST or IGST?

The state code is what decides this, and getting it wrong is one of the most common invoicing errors.

  • Buyer also in Telangana (place of supply code 36) — the supply is intra-state. Charge CGST + SGST, split equally.
  • Buyer in any other state or UT — the supply is inter-state. Charge IGST at the full rate instead.

Compare the first two digits of your GSTIN with the first two of the buyer's and the answer follows. Our GST calculator works out the split for you, and place of supply explains the cases where the buyer's address is not the deciding factor.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which state is GST state code 36?

GST state code 36 is Telangana. Every GSTIN whose first two digits are 36 belongs to a taxpayer registered in Telangana. Its ISO 3166-2:IN alpha code is TG / TS.

What does a GSTIN starting with 36 mean?

The first two digits of a GSTIN are the state code, so a GSTIN starting 36 means the taxpayer holds that registration in Telangana. The next ten characters are the PAN, the thirteenth is the registration count for that PAN in the state, the fourteenth is always Z, and the fifteenth is a check digit.

Is a supply from Telangana charged CGST and SGST or IGST?

If the place of supply is also in Telangana — that is, the buyer's state code is also 36 — the supply is intra-state and attracts CGST plus SGST. If the buyer is in any other state or union territory, it is inter-state and attracts IGST instead.
