The TIN number (registered under VAT for goods & services) and Service Tax Registration Number were issued by the state and the Centre, under the VAT and Service Tax regime. But, according to the GST regime, all taxation will get consolidated and taxpayers have to register under one single authority.
All the taxpayers who register under GST will receive a GSTIN (Goods and Service Tax Identification Number). GSTIN is a 15 digit number (first two digits are the state code, next ten digits will be PAN number, 13th digit will be assigned based on the registration within a state, 14th digit is Z by default, and the last digit is the check code).
