State Code and Location Code

In the context of GST (Goods and Services Tax) in India, the state code and location code are used to identify different states and specific locations for tax purposes.

  • GST State Code: This is a two-digit code used to identify the state in which the transaction occurs. For example, Delhi: 07.
  • Location Code: This is a code assigned to a specific location or place of business within a state. It is used to further identify the place of supply within the state.
