• Digits 1-2: State code (27 = Maharashtra, 29 = Karnataka, etc.)
• Digits 3-12: PAN of the business
• Digit 13: Entity number (1 = primary registration)
• Digit 14: Z (default)
• Digit 15: Check digit

Pricing

BRONZE	$0.008

Limitations

• Address data is not available for every GSTIN (privacy restrictions on some sources).
• For GSTINs not found in public indexes, the actor still returns format-derived fields (state, PAN, state code) so you can tell "invalid format" apart from "not indexed".
• Rate limited to roughly 1 GSTIN every 2 seconds to stay polite to upstream sources.
• Does not return filing history, returns filed, or e-way bill data.

Compared to alternatives

• Most Apify Store GSTIN lookup tools are single-GSTIN only and priced per-call at $0.02-$0.05. This actor supports bulk runs at $0.005-$0.01 per GSTIN and returns format-derived fallback data.
• Official GSTN APIs require GSP registration and an enterprise contract. This actor works out of the box with no credentials.

FAQ

Is this data from the official GST portal? Data is sourced from public indexes that mirror GSTN records. For GSTINs not indexed, format-derived fields are still returned.

Can I verify foreign tax IDs? No, this actor is India-only. GSTIN is a 15-character format specific to India.

How many GSTINs can I verify in one run? Up to 10,000 per run. For larger workloads, split across multiple runs.

Does it return filing history or returns filed? No. This is a registration lookup only.
