GSTIN
GSTIN is a unique identification number issued to a business registered under GST. It is a 15-digit number. The GSTIN comprises of the PAN number of the business. It is important to verify the GSTIN of a taxpayer to ensure that the GSTIN quoted by a business on the documents actually belongs to them. Thus, the GST Portal has an option to search the taxpayers using the GST number. Individuals can search the taxpayers without logging in to the GST Portal.
The details of registered dealers/suppliers are also available on the GST Portal. The tool to search the taxpayer’s details allows you to view the profile of any registered taxpayer on the portal. The details provided during pre/post-login are different. Additional details are provided once you search for the details of the taxpayer post-login. Furthermore, details of UN Bodies, Embassies, Government Offices or Other Notified persons are also available on the portal. In such a case, you need to provide the Unique Identification Number (UIN).
