GST State Code List
The Goods and Services Tax Identification Number (GSTIN) is a 15-digit alphanumeric unique identification number provided to a taxpayer who is registered under the GST. The first two digits of a GSTIN represent the state code.
The state indicates the state in which a business entity is located, carries its business, and thus is registered from that state under GST. Each state in India is allotted a state code to make it convenient to identify the business entity
