Government non-affiliation
GST Search (gstsearch.net) is an independent tool and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to the Government of India, the Goods and Services Tax Network (GSTN), the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC), any state tax authority, or the official GST portal (gst.gov.in).
We are a private, privately funded website. We do not issue GST registrations, process applications, accept filings or collect any tax. Nothing on this site is an official government record, and a result page from this site is not a government certificate. For official registration services, filings and legally authoritative records, use the official portal at gst.gov.in or consult the relevant tax authority. If you need your own registration, the official process is summarised in our guide on how to get a GST number — the application itself happens only on the government portal.
Any names, marks or references to government bodies on this site are used solely to describe the public systems our content relates to, and imply no association.
Data accuracy
Registration details shown by our search tools are sourced from GSTN records via authorised third-party GST verification API providers, and served partly from our own cache for speed. That pipeline — including how long cached records are held before refresh — is described honestly on the data sources page. Consequences you should understand:
- Data can lag. A registration cancelled or amended today may continue to appear with older details until caches refresh. Every result carries a cached/live indicator; for high-stakes decisions, treat a cached result as a starting point.
- Upstream errors propagate. If the source record is wrong, our display of it will be wrong too. Businesses can request correction of cached data through our takedown and correction process.
- A lookup is not due diligence. An Active status does not guarantee a counterparty’s solvency, honesty or filing compliance. Use results as one input alongside the practices described under GST verification.
No professional advice
All content on this site is general information, not legal, tax, accounting or investment advice. GST rates, thresholds and rules change through Council decisions and notifications; always confirm the current position against official sources or with a qualified professional before acting. Calculations from the GST calculator are arithmetic aids, not a determination of the rate applicable to your goods or services.
Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we accept no liability for losses arising from reliance on information on this site. See the terms of use for the complete provisions, and contact us if you believe anything displayed here is inaccurate.
