GST Number Search & Details
Enter any GSTIN to see the registered business name, status, type, and address — plus instant format validation.
What Details Can You Find From a GSTIN?
A GSTIN encodes some information directly (state code, PAN, entity type), but full business details require checking the official GST portal. Here's what you can find:
| Detail | Where to Find It |
|---|---|
| State / UT | Encoded in GSTIN (first 2 digits) — our validator decodes this instantly |
| PAN | Encoded in GSTIN (digits 3–12) — our validator extracts this |
| Entity Type | Encoded in PAN (5th character) — Company, Individual, Firm, etc. |
| Legal Name | Shown above — live from the GST registry |
| Trade Name | Shown above — live from the GST registry |
| Business Address | Shown above — principal place of business |
| Registration Date | Shown above — live from the GST registry |
| Status (Active/Cancelled) | Shown above — live from the GST registry |
| Return Filing Status | GST portal only |
How to Search GST Number by PAN
If you have a business PAN but not the GSTIN, our GST Search by PAN tool validates the PAN format and deep-links to the official portal. The manual route on the portal:
- Go to services.gst.gov.in/services/searchtp
- Select "Search by PAN" tab
- Enter the 10-character PAN
- The portal shows all GSTINs registered under that PAN across all states
Why Check GSTIN Details Before Doing Business?
- Verify active status — A cancelled or suspended GSTIN means the vendor is non-compliant. Invoices from them won't support ITC claims.
- Confirm business identity — Match the legal name and address against the invoice to prevent fraud.
- Check filing history — Vendors who haven't filed recent returns may have their GSTIN suspended, affecting your ITC.
- Validate before onboarding — One check at vendor onboarding prevents months of ITC mismatches during reconciliation.
