What is the GST State Code?

The GST number assigned to the taxpayer consists of the first two digits of the state code, where the business entity is registered. Similarly, the state code indicates the location of the business entity, and the manufacturing activity is carried out.

Thus, it is the unique code assigned to every state in India under GST law. Through this code, the government can classify registered taxpayers in any given state. You can see the format of the Goods and Service Tax Identification Number(GSTIN) in the below picture. The first 2 digits of the GST number/GSTIN are the state code.

What is the need for the GST State Code?

In GST law there is a concept of a place of supply, where the place of supply is the place of delivery of goods or services or both. Thus, the government charges IGST tax for inter-state supply, and for intra-state it is CGST+SGST. Therefore, it becomes necessary to know the place of supply with some unique logic.

Further, the government charges IGST, if the supplier state code & the place of supply state code is different from each other. On the other hand, if the supplier state code and the place of supply are the same then the CGST and IGST will be applicable. Let us understand this concept with the below example.

• If the supplier state code is “30” and the place of supply state code is “22” then IGST will be charged.
• If the supplier state code is “30” and the place of supply state code is also “30” then CGST+SGST/UTGST will be charged.

As far as the Invoicing is concerned, the supplier needs to mention the place of supply state code on the tax invoice. Thus, on the basis of the Supplier & buyer state code, the states are identified from the first two digits of GSTIN. Thereafter, the type of tax ie. IGST or CGST & SGST/UTGST is decided.

06 GST State Code

The GST is applicable to the state of Haryana. Therefore, The Goods and Services Tax (GST) state code for the state of Haryana in India is “06.” The GSTN system uses this GST code to identify Haryana for GST-related transactions and documentation.

Haryana, like all other states and union territories in India, has its own specific GST code, and it is important to use the correct code when dealing with GST-related activities, including filing GST returns, invoicing, and reporting for businesses and individuals operating in Haryana.

07 GST State code

The Goods and Services Tax (GST) state code for the National Capital Territory of Delhi is “07.” Thus, the GSTN uses this code to identify Delhi for GST-related transactions and documentation. So, do not forget to use the GST code 07 when filing your returns, registration purposes, and any other related work of GST.

09 State Code

The Goods and Services Tax (GST) state code for the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh is “09.” This GST code is used to identify Uttar Pradesh for GST-related transactions and documentation.

Further, If you are dealing with GST-related activities in Uttar Pradesh, such as filing GST returns, generating invoices, or reporting GST transactions. Also, it is important to use the correct GST state code, which is “09” in this case.

Similarly, Keep in mind that the GST system and its details may not change for the GST state code even over time. Therefore, if your GST registration is in the state of Uttar Pradesh, then you will notice that your registration is starting with the 09 GST code.

24 GST State Code

The 24 GST state code is assigned to Gujarat state of India. So, if your registration is in Gujarat then your Registration number will start with code 24. Thus 24 state code is applicable to all the registrations done in Gujarat. Thus, for all your online correspondence on the GST portal, you need to select the state code 24.

Further, if you are wondering when you can get a different GST code other than 24 in the state of Gujarat, then the answer is No. This is because, in the records of GST state code list 24, the GSTN has kept this code exclusively for the state of Gujarat. So, not only for Gujarat but, for the rest of the states also, a unique state code is assigned. Hence, anytime you see a GST number starting with 24, that means the registration is of Gujarat State.

36 GST State Code

The GST state code 36 is a unique two-digit code that is used to identify the state of Telangana in India under the Goods and Services Tax (GST) system. This code is important for various GST-related transactions and documentation. Similarly, each state and union territory in India is assigned a specific code to simplify and streamline the GST process.

Thus, the GST state code for the state of Telangana is “36,” as mentioned earlier. Each state and union territory has its own GST state code to help identify the origin or destination of goods and services for tax purposes.

These state codes are essential for businesses and individuals when they are involved in interstate transactions or when they need to indicate the place of supply, as GST rates and rules may vary from one state to another. It is important to use the correct GST state code to ensure accurate and compliant GST filings and reporting.
