what is gstin?give me definition

Answer 1

Before GST was implemented, all dealers registered under the state VAT law were assigned a unique TIN number by the respective state tax authorities. Similarly, service providers were assigned a service tax registration number by the Central Board of Excise and Custom (CBEC).

Going forward, in the new GST regime, all registered taxpayers will get consolidated into one single platform for compliance and administration purposes and will be assigned registration under a single authority. It is expected that 8 million taxpayers will be migrated from various platforms into GST.

All of these businesses will be assigned a unique Goods and Services Tax Identification Number (GSTIN). 

Verification of GSTIN can be done on the GST Portal. Check out our article on GST Verification for a step-by-step guide.
