Understanding the GST code for Indian states is essential for anyone dealing with GST compliance, invoicing, and registration in India. Each state and union territory is assigned a unique two-digit GST code that forms the beginning of every GSTIN (Goods and Services Tax Identification Number). For instance, the GST code for Maharashtra is 27, while for Karnataka, it is 29. These codes help in identifying the location of the taxpayer and streamlining tax administration across regions. Whether you're a business owner or a tax professional, knowing the GST codes for Indian states simplifies compliance and improves accuracy in GST filings.
