What is the format of a GSTIN number?

A GSTIN is a 15-character alphanumeric code: 2-digit state code + 10-character PAN + 1-digit entity number + 1 default 'Z' + 1 check digit. Example: 27ABCDE1234F1Z5 (Maharashtra, PAN ABCDE1234F, 1st registration).

Can I find the business PAN number from a GSTIN?

Yes. Characters 3 to 12 of any GSTIN are the PAN number of the business or individual. For example, in GSTIN 07AABCU9603R1ZV, the PAN is AABCU9603R.

Does this GSTIN validator check if the GSTIN is active?

No. This tool validates only the structural format of the GSTIN offline. To check if a GSTIN is currently active or cancelled, verify on the official GST portal at gst.gov.in under the Search Taxpayer section.
