class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">GST state codes are unique two-digit alphanumeric codes assigned by the government to each state and union territory in India. GST state code is represented by numbers serially assigned to every state and Union Territory. As an example, GST state code 07 represents Delhi. Whereas, GST state code 29 represents Karnataka.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For a simpler understanding, the GST state code is mentioned in the Goods and Services Tax Identification Number (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/razorpay.com\/learn\/what-is-gstin-all-you-know-about-your-15-digits-gstin\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">GSTIN<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). It is a unique 15-digit number provided by the government to any registered person or business entities under the Goods and Services Tax (GST) regime.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">GST state codes play a crucial role in the GST system, helping in the identification of the origin and destination of goods and services during transactions. Understanding these codes is vital for proper compliance with GST regulations.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"GST-State-Code-List-of-India\"><\/span><b>GST State Code List of India<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first two digits of any GST number (GSTIN) represent the GST state code.

territory, helping with accurate GST registration and compliance. These numerical identifiers help determine the \u201cplace of supply,\u201d which is crucial for deciding whether CGST, SGST, or IGST applies. If the state code is the same for both buyer and seller, it&#8217;s an intra-state deal, and CGST plus SGST are levied. If the codes are different, it\u2019s an inter-state deal and IGST applies. These codes make up the first two digits of the 15-digit GSTIN, helping identify a taxpayer\u2019s jurisdiction and improving tax uniformity and tracking.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"833\" data-end=\"1166\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Examples-of-the-GST-State-Code-List-of-India\"><\/span><strong data-start=\"833\" data-end=\"877\">Examples of the GST State Code List of India<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"833\" data-end=\"1166\">Each state and union territory in India is assigned a distinct GST code, used to specify the taxpayer\u2019s state in the GSTIN. For example, a GSTIN starting with &#8217;10&#8217; belongs to Bihar, and &#8217;27&#8217; to Maharashtra. These are useful during registration and return filing. A few examples include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li data-start=\"1170\" data-end=\"1188\">19 \u2013 West Bengal<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1191\" data-end=\"1207\">36 \u2013 Telangana<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1210\" data-end=\"1227\">33 \u2013 Tamil Nadu<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1230\" data-end=\"1250\">09 \u2013 Uttar Pradesh<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1253\" data-end=\"1274\">23 \u2013 Madhya Pradesh<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1277\" data-end=\"1293\">20 \u2013 Jharkhand<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1296\" data-end=\"1309\">03 \u2013 Punjab<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1312\" data-end=\"1325\">21 \u2013 Odisha<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1328\" data-end=\"1371\">26 \u2013 Dadra &amp; Nagar Haveli and Daman &amp; Diu<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1373\" data-end=\"1477\">These codes help properly identify taxpayer locations, making tax processing smoother and more accurate.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"1484\" data-end=\"2009\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Objective-of-the-GST-State-Code\"><\/span><strong data-start=\"1484\" data-end=\"1515\">Objective of the GST State Code<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1484\" data-end=\"2009\">The goal of the GST state code system is to simplify tax management by identifying where a taxpayer is based, which is essential in deciding the right tax\u2014IGST, SGST, or CGST\u2014for a transaction. Including the code in the GSTIN helps determine the taxpayer\u2019s jurisdiction, making it easier for the tax authorities to divide revenue between the central and state governments. This approach brings more clarity, cuts down mistakes in GST filing, and ensures a consistent tax system across India.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where-Do-We-Need-the-GST-State-Code\"><\/span><b>Where Do We Need the GST State Code?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <\/span><b>GST state code<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> plays a crucial role in various aspects of the GST system. Here&#8217;s how and where the state code is required:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>GST Registration<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When <a href=\"https:\/\/razorpay.com\/learn\/gst-registration-eligibility-process-documents-and-penalties\/\">applying for GST registration<\/a>, the State Code is essential to determine the taxpayer&#8217;s jurisdiction.To obtain a valid GST registration, accurate state and centre jurisdiction is mandatory. The information that the taxpayer provides is verified by the officer, only then the GSTIN is alloted. GST state code directs them to the correct tax authority based on their state or union territory.

Each state or union territory has its GST jurisdiction, and businesses operating within a specific jurisdiction are required to register under the concerned GST authority. Jurisdiction is essential for the assessment, collection, and enforcement of GST. The jurisdictions have been classified based on geographical region, PIN codes of distinct locations, and distinct districts and ensure that <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">GST registrations<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are easier for businesses and professionals.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Classification-of-GST-Jurisdiction\"><\/span><b>Classification of GST Jurisdiction<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">GST jurisdiction is categorised into two main components: State Jurisdiction and Central Jurisdiction.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>State Jurisdiction<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">State jurisdiction deals with tax administration within a specific state or union territory.

Each state is divided into various jurisdictions, each headed by a Jurisdictional Officer.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Central Jurisdiction<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Central jurisdiction involves the administration of Central GST (CGST) and Integrated GST (IGST). It is responsible for transactions that occur between different states or union territories. The Central Jurisdiction ensures that taxes are appropriately collected and distributed among the states.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As outlined in CGST Circular no. 21\/2017 dated 20th September 2017, here&#8217;s how the division is determined:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Taxpayers with Turnover Below <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u20b9<\/span><b>1.5 Crore: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this category, 90% of taxpayers whose total turnover falls below <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u20b9<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1.5 crore are under the jurisdiction of the state administration, while the remaining 10% fall under the purview of the Central administration.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Taxpayers with Turnover Above <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u20b9<\/span><b>1.5 Crore:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> For taxpayers with a total turnover exceeding <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u20b9<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1.5 crore, the division is more balanced. 50% comes under the state administration, while the other half is overseen by the Central administration.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This division of GST taxpayers is carried out through computer-initiated processes at the state level. It considers factors such as the geographical location of the taxpayer and the type of registration they hold.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In practice, the GST jurisdictions are structured hierarchically with varying sizes and scopes.
