Questions

Good to know

Anything else? Write to hello@spense.tech.

What is a GSTIN?

The 15-character number every GST-registered business gets. The first two digits are the state code, the next ten are the PAN, then the entity number, a Z, and a check character.

How do I verify a GST number?

Type the GSTIN in the box above. You see the legal name, status and registration date straight away, and the full report after a quick name and mobile check.

Why verify a vendor before paying?

Input tax credit only works on invoices from an active taxpayer who files returns. A cancelled or non-filing vendor can cost you the credit.

Where does the data come from?

From GSTN's public taxpayer records through a licensed API, refreshed regularly. Every report shows the date it was checked. We are not affiliated with GSTN.
