GSTIN Meaning

भारतातील प्रत्येक GST-नोंदणीकृत व्यवसायाला नियुक्त केलेला 15-वर्णांचा अद्वितीय ओळखकर्ता.

Full definition

GSTIN (Goods and Services Tax Identification Number) हा GST अंतर्गत नोंदणीकृत प्रत्येक व्यवसायाला जारी केलेला 15-वर्णांचा अल्फान्यूमेरिक ओळखकर्ता आहे. पहिले दोन अंक राज्य कोड दर्शवतात, पुढील दहा संस्थेचे PAN आहेत आणि उरलेले तीन एन्टिटी कोड, चेक डिजिट आणि डीफॉल्ट Z आहेत. प्रत्येक GST इनव्हॉइसमध्ये पुरवठादार आणि प्राप्तकर्ता दोघेही नोंदणीकृत व्यवसाय (B2B) असताना दोघांचेही GSTIN असणे आवश्यक आहे.

अनेक राज्यांत ऑपरेट करणाऱ्या व्यवसायाला प्रति राज्य स्वतंत्र GSTIN आवश्यक आहे, कारण GST गंतव्य-आधारित आहे. गुजरात, महाराष्ट्र आणि कर्नाटकमध्ये प्लांट्स असलेली डेअरी ब्रँड तीन GSTIN ठेवते आणि प्रत्येकासाठी स्वतंत्र रिटर्न दाखल करते.

अचूक GSTIN कॅप्चर महत्त्वाचा आहे कारण चुकीने सांगितलेले GSTINs ई-इनव्हॉइस नकार आणि खरेदीदारासाठी ब्लॉक केलेले इनपुट क्रेडिट कारणीभूत होतात. ऑर्डर मॅनेजमेंट प्लॅटफॉर्म्स ग्राहक ऑनबोर्डिंग दरम्यान सरकारी पोर्टलच्या तुलनेत रिअल टाइममध्ये GSTINs वैध करतात.

Real-world example

GSTIN सारखा 27AAAPL1234C1ZV डिकोड होतो: 27 = महाराष्ट्र, AAAPL1234C = PAN, 1 = एन्टिटी कोड, Z = डीफॉल्ट, V = चेक डिजिट.
