In this article
If you run a business in India, checking a supplier's or customer's GSTIN is basic due diligence. A cancelled or fake GSTIN on a purchase invoice can cost you the input tax credit (ITC) on it, plus interest. This review looks at what GSTVerify.co.in does, how to use it and who it is for.
Disclosure
GetBusiness sells GSTIN Search Pro, a WordPress plugin that runs on the GSTVerify API. Our rating below is our own view of the tool.
What is GSTVerify.co.in?
GSTVerify.co.in is a web-based GST platform. You type a 15-digit GSTIN and get the details the GST portal holds for it — without logging in, solving a captcha or paying. Around that core lookup it adds tools for bulk checks, compliance scoring, invoices and codes.
It is an independent private platform, not a government website. The data comes from the official GST system, so a result should match what you see on gst.gov.in.
How fresh is the data?
GSTVerify keeps a cache. If a GSTIN was looked up recently, the cached copy is returned at once and labelled Cached result. Otherwise it fetches the record from the government source in real time and labels it Live data. When freshness matters — for example just before paying a large invoice — check that the result is live.
Features
Instant GSTIN verification
Enter a GSTIN to see the legal name, trade name, status (Active, Cancelled or Suspended), taxpayer type, principal place of business, nature of business and registration date. All states and union territories are covered.
Bulk verify
Check a whole vendor list in one go — useful for accounts payable teams, CAs reconciling client data and companies onboarding many suppliers.
GST Health Score
A single score that summarises a business's GST behaviour: return filing regularity, filing history and registration status. It helps you judge vendor risk beyond a simple Active/Cancelled answer.
Search by name or PAN
Find every GSTIN registered under a business name or PAN — handy for companies registered in several states. On GetBusiness you can do the same with our GST search by name or PAN.
Free invoice generator
Create GST invoices in the browser — a quick option for freelancers, small traders and MSMEs who don't use billing software.
GST calculator
Work out CGST, SGST/UTGST and IGST for a price, inclusive or exclusive of tax. Since GST 2.0 took effect on 22 September 2025, most goods and services fall in the 5% and 18% slabs, with 40% for luxury and sin goods and 0% for exempt items. Check the rate for your HSN or SAC code before you calculate.
HSN / SAC code finder
Search thousands of HSN (goods) and SAC (services) codes by description or number. Codes are needed on invoices and in returns.
GST compliance calendar
Due dates for GSTR-1, GSTR-3B, GSTR-9 and other returns, month by month.
Developer API
A REST API for GSTIN verification, filing history, PAN search and HSN lookup. Pricing is credit-based: you pay per call, and credits are refunded when a call fails on the portal side.
GST registration help
A guided workflow for businesses applying for GST for the first time, covering documents, thresholds and the application steps.
Who should use it?
- Accounts payable and procurement teams — check vendor GSTINs before booking purchase invoices.
- CAs and tax consultants — verify client and vendor details for filing and advisory work.
- NBFCs and lenders — confirm a borrower's GSTIN as part of KYB checks.
- E-commerce marketplaces — confirm sellers' GST status at onboarding and periodically after.
- Developers and SaaS products — add GSTIN checks, HSN lookup and filing history through the API.
- Startups and MSMEs — screen new suppliers and avoid fake-GSTIN fraud.
Why verify before you pay
Under GST you can only claim ITC on invoices your supplier has reported and that appear in your GSTR-2B. If the supplier's GSTIN is cancelled or fake, the tax you paid may never reach the government and your ITC can be reversed, with interest. Since October 2024 the GST portal's Invoice Management System (IMS) also lets you accept, reject or hold supplier invoices before they flow into your return — a quick GSTIN check makes those decisions easier.
How to verify a GSTIN on GSTVerify
- Go to gstverify.co.in. No login or payment is needed.
- Type the 15-digit GSTIN in the search box.
- Read the result: legal and trade name, status, taxpayer type, registration date and address.
- Check whether the result is Live data or Cached result.
- If needed, run the GST Health Score, look up an HSN code or create an invoice.

You can also use our own free GST number search, which shows the same registration details.
Understanding the GSTIN format
Every GSTIN has 15 characters:
| Position | Characters | What it shows | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1–2 | Digits | State code | 07 = Delhi, 27 = Maharashtra |
| 3–12 | Letters and digits | PAN of the business | ABCDE1234F |
| 13 | Digit or letter | Registration number under the same PAN in that state | 1, 2, 3 … |
| 14 | Letter | Default "Z" | Z |
| 15 | Digit or letter | Check digit | A, 4, 9 … |
A GSTIN that fails this pattern or its check digit is wrong — no lookup needed.
How it compares
The official GST portal's Search Taxpayer page is free and authoritative, but it asks for a captcha on every search and checks one GSTIN at a time. Paid compliance suites such as ClearTax, Masters India and MasterGST include GSTIN verification within wider filing and e-invoicing products.
GSTVerify sits in between: free, no login, with bulk checks, a compliance score and a pay-per-use API. If you only need to verify GSTINs and look up codes, it covers that without a subscription. If you need return filing, e-invoicing or e-way bills, you'll still need a full GST software product.

Our verdict
GSTVerify.co.in is one of the most complete free GST verification tools for Indian businesses. The GST Health Score and no-login bulk verify stand out, and the pay-per-use API is a low-cost way for developers to add GSTIN checks.
It is not a filing product, and cached results should be refreshed before high-value decisions. For checking GSTINs, finding codes and keeping track of due dates, it is an easy recommendation.
Our rating: 9.4 / 10.
Frequently asked questions
Is GSTVerify.co.in a government website?
No. It is an independent private platform. Its data comes from the official GST system, so results should match the GST portal.
Do I need an account to use GSTVerify?
No. GSTIN checks, bulk verify, the Health Score, the HSN/SAC finder, the calculator, the invoice generator and the calendar work without an account. Only the developer API needs credits.
Is the data up to date?
A live lookup comes straight from the government source. Cached results are labelled, so you always know when you are looking at a stored copy.
What does an "Active" GSTIN mean?
The business is currently registered and can charge GST and issue tax invoices. "Cancelled" or "Suspended" means it cannot, and ITC on its invoices after that date may be disallowed.
Can I check GSTINs from any state?
Yes. All states and union territories are covered.
Is there a mobile app?
GSTVerify is a website and works in any mobile browser; there is no separate app.
Can I add GST verification to my own website?
Yes. GetBusiness's GSTIN Search Pro WordPress plugin adds live GST search to your site using the GSTVerify API, and developers can call the API directly.
