Frequently asked questions
What is a GST state code?
A GST state code is a two-digit number assigned to each Indian state and union territory. It forms the first two digits of every GSTIN (GST Identification Number), identifying where the taxpayer is registered. For example, 27 is Maharashtra and 07 is Delhi.
What is the GST state code for Maharashtra?
The GST state code for Maharashtra is 27. So any GSTIN that begins with 27 belongs to a business registered in Maharashtra. You can search this list for any state to find its code.
How do I find the state from a GSTIN?
Look at the first two digits of the 15-character GSTIN and match them against this list. For instance, a GSTIN starting with 29 is Karnataka, 09 is Uttar Pradesh and 24 is Gujarat.
What is the GST code for Delhi and Karnataka?
Delhi's GST state code is 07 and Karnataka's is 29. Both appear in this searchable list along with every other state and union territory.
Are GST state codes the same as vehicle or TIN codes?
GST state codes match the older TIN / Census state codes used before GST, so they align with the state-code portion of a TIN. They are numeric (01–38) and are different from vehicle registration codes, which are letter-based (like MH, DL, KA).
Is this GST state codes tool free?
Yes — it's completely free with no sign-up. The full list runs in your browser from a built-in dataset, so there are no limits, no API keys and nothing is uploaded.
What is the GST state code for Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat or Tamil Nadu?
Uttar Pradesh is 09, Gujarat is 24 and Tamil Nadu is 33. Every GSTIN starts with its state's two-digit code, so you can identify the registration state from the first two digits — search any state here to find its code.
How many GST state codes are there?
There are codes for all 28 states and 8 union territories of India, numbered from 01 (Jammu & Kashmir) upward and currently spanning 01 to 38. Each code maps to exactly one state or UT and forms the opening two digits of every GSTIN registered there.
