GST Active Status Check

Is this GST number Active, Cancelled or Suspended? Type the GSTIN to see its status before you buy, sell or claim input tax credit.

What Active, Cancelled and Suspended Mean

Active: the registration is valid, and the business can charge GST and issue tax invoices. Cancelled: the registration has ended, by the taxpayer’s request or by the department; it should not issue GST invoices any more. Suspended: the registration is on hold while cancellation is in process; the business cannot make taxable supplies under it in that time.

Before you pay a supplier or claim input tax credit, check that their GSTIN is Active. GST charged on a bill from a cancelled GSTIN can cost you the credit. Type the GSTIN above to see the status with the name and address.
