After the implementation of GST, you would have come across that GST is charged on bills and may have suspected some sellers at one point or the other whether he is really registered under GST. In this article, we will discuss how to know GST registered person.
1. Go to www.gst.gov.in and select "Search Taxpayer" in Menu.
2. You may choose Search by GSTIN/UIN or Search by PAN
3. Enter the GSTIN, captcha code and "Search".
GSTIN stands for Goods and Service Tax Identification Number which is a unique registration number given to GST registered persons.
I have used GSTIN of SBI in Maharashtra for example purpose as it is freely available online.
4. Let us check now by PAN.
Result :
5. Points to remember
- Unless the "Taxpayer Type" is "Regular" and "GSTIN/UIN Status" is "Active", he is not authorised to charge GST though he is registered under GST.
- Sometimes the portal may not show any records due to technical glitches, then cross verify the functioning of portal using known GSTIN (Use GSTIN of known companies that are available online).
- If you have reasons to believe that the person is issuing fake GST bills after following the above process then you can report to Directorate General of Goods & Services Tax Intelligence (DGGSTI) by contacting 011-26174191 or add-dgcei@nic.in or by submitting form at https://cbic-gst.gov.in/report-tax-fraud.html. (Get rewarded without any fear. Your identity including name and address will be kept absolutely confidential.)
