The GST state code is essential for:- Obtaining a GST Registration Number (GSTIN).
- Identifying the Delivery Zone or "Place of Supply".
- The GSTIN starts with the state code. For instance, in the GSTIN 08AAEPM0111C1Z8, the first two digits "08" represent the GST State Code for Rajasthan. The section "AAEPM0111C" is the PAN Card Number, followed by the Registration Number and default values.
- Determining the applicable GST rules, such as whether IGST will apply or if CGST & SGST will be imposed based on the supplier's state and the place of supply.
How Are GST State Codes Used?
- GST Registration
- When applying for GST registration, businesses must provide the correct state code to ensure accurate location mapping.
- Invoice Generation

- Filing GST Returns
- Your GSTIN contains the state code, which determines where you need to file tax returns.
- Tax Compliance & Audits
- GST officers use the state code to track tax payments and audits for businesses in their region.
