2. Structure of GSTIN
Each taxpayer is assigned a state-wise PAN-based 15-digit Goods and Services Taxpayer Identification Number (GSTIN).

Here is a format break-down of the GSTIN:
The first two digits represent the state code as per Indian Census 2011. Every state has a unique code. For instance,State code of Karnataka is 29State code of Delhi is 07The next ten digits will be the PAN number of the taxpayerThe thirteenth digit will be assigned based on the number of registration within a stateThe fourteenth digit will be Z by defaultThe last digit will be for check code. It may be an alphabet or a number.
