Understand your GSTIN
The 15-digit GSTIN or the unique identification number provided on GST registration carries some significant details on it.

1. The first two digit of the GSTIN are the STATE CODE
2. The next ten digits (3 to 12) is your PAN NUMBER
3. The 13th digit is the ENTITY CODE and will be assigned to the type legal entity you are registering under. Thus, if your application (with a particular kind of legal entity) is second in the state, the 13th digit would be ‘2’. It is again a state-based number.
4. The 14th digit is left BLANK at present, to be filled at a later stage, by the deciding authorities.
5. The 15th digit is a redundancy CHECK DIGIT used to provide Unique identification and for providing accuracy.
