Why GST Search exists
Every day, lakhs of Indian businesses need to answer one small question before money moves: is this GST number genuine and active? The official route can answer it, but only after captchas and multiple steps — a real cost when an accounts team has forty invoices to clear before lunch. GST Search was built to make that answer instant: one box, no login, no captcha, and a clear result showing the registration’s legal name, trade name, state and live status.
What we offer
- GST search by GSTIN, PAN or business name right on the homepage, with auto-detection of what you typed.
- GST verification workflows for vendor onboarding and pre-payment checks.
- A GST calculator covering every slab with the CGST/SGST/IGST split.
- Reference material such as the GST state code list and plain-language guides like what is GSTIN — in English and, where it helps, in Hindi.
- Bulk verification for whole vendor lists, currently in development.
How we work
Our results are sourced from GSTN registration records through authorised GST verification API providers, with a caching layer that keeps popular lookups fast; every result is labelled cached or live, and our data sources page describes the pipeline and refresh windows honestly. Where data could be stale or a rule has nuances, we say so rather than pretending otherwise.
Two things we are deliberately not: we are not the government — GST Search is an independent tool with no affiliation to the Government of India, GSTN or gst.gov.in (see our disclaimer) — and we are not tax advisors. Our guides explain how GST identifiers and rules work in general terms; decisions about your specific tax position belong with a qualified professional.
