GST verification online: check a GSTIN before paying
Before you pay a vendor invoice that claims input tax credit, it is sensible to confirm that the GSTIN on it belongs to a registered business and that the name matches the one you are paying. The GST Verification check does this from your VerifyAll workspace.
What you enter
- The 15-character GSTIN printed on the vendor's invoice.
Data source
The check looks up the GSTIN on the GST registration record. VerifyAll shows the result with the date and time it was checked, and every report carries a reference that anyone can verify.
What a result contains
- Legal name and trade name
- Registration status, for example active, suspended or cancelled
- Type of taxpayer and date of registration
- Principal place of business
- The lookup date and time and the report reference
The fields shown depend on what the registration record holds.
What to compare
- Does the legal name match the name on the purchase order and the bank account you will pay?
- Is the status active on the invoice date?
- Does the state code at the start of the GSTIN match the vendor's stated location?
A mismatch on any of these is a reason to pause the payment and ask the vendor, not proof of fraud.
Bulk GST verification
If you onboard many vendors, upload a CSV with one GSTIN per row to the Bulk GST Verification check and download the results as one file. Bulk upload is available on business accounts.
How to run it
- Register a business account and submit your company details. A SuperAdmin approves business accounts before any report runs.
- Recharge the prepaid wallet from the dashboard.
- Open GST Verification, enter the GSTIN and run the check.
Price and turnaround
There are no subscriptions. Each check is charged at its own rate from the prepaid wallet, and the rate card in the dashboard shows every price. A lookup is returned while you wait. If the source is slow or unavailable the check can fail, so run it again later and write to support@verifyall.ai if a charge looks wrong.
When the result is no record
No record means the GST record returned nothing for that number. Recheck the GSTIN for a typing error, then ask the vendor for their registration certificate before you pay.
Checks that go with it
- PAN to Udyam for MSME status of the same vendor
- Company Verification for a company's CIN record
- Basic Business Verification for a wider review
FAQ
