Why Verify a GST Number?

In today’s fast-paced business environment, failing to verify a vendor's or customer's GSTIN can lead to serious consequences. Here’s why verifying GST numbers is not just important, but critical:

  • Prevent GST Fraud: Fake GST numbers are used by fraudulent entities to evade taxes or issue bogus invoices.
  • Ensure Input Tax Credit Eligibility: You can only claim ITC on purchases made from valid, GST-registered vendors.
  • Improve Vendor Onboarding: GST verification is a key step during vendor due diligence or KYC.
  • Maintain GST Compliance: Filing returns with wrong GSTINs can trigger errors, notices, or even penalties from tax authorities.
  • Build Business Trust: Validating GSTINs demonstrates that your business is committed to compliance and transparency.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What does the BUSY GSTIN Validation Tool do?

    It checks if a supplier GST number is real, active, and compliant. You enter the 15 digit GSTIN and get instant status.

  • Why should I verify my vendor GSTIN?

    If you buy from a fake or inactive GST number you may lose Input Tax Credit and even get notices for wrong credit. Verifying protects you from fake billing and GST fraud.

  • What details will I see after validation?

    You can see the legal name of the taxpayer, registration type, and status like active, suspended, or cancelled. This helps with vendor onboarding and compliance.

  • Is the GSTIN checker free?

    Yes. BUSY lets you validate a GSTIN without login so you can quickly screen new vendors.

  • Can this tool help during purchase entry in BUSY?

    Yes. Before you record a purchase in BUSY and claim Input Tax Credit you can confirm that the supplier GSTIN is valid. That keeps your GSTR 3B and ITC claims clean.

  • Does it work for composition dealers?

    Yes. The result also shows whether the supplier is a regular taxpayer or a composition dealer, which affects how you handle tax on that bill.

  • Can I store the proof of GST verification?

    You can note down the status and capture a screenshot for your vendor compliance file. BUSY accounting gives you vendor ledgers and audit trails that help at the time of GST audit.

  • Is this tool enough for ITC eligibility?

    It is a good first check. You should also match supplier invoices with GSTR 2B and then adjust Input Tax Credit using the BUSY ITC Calculator to make sure credit is allowed.

  • Will this tool prevent bogus billing disputes with GST officers?

    Validating GSTIN before booking expenses reduces risk of purchase from shell firms, which is a common trigger for GST enquiry and ITC disallowance.

  • How is this different from searching GSTIN manually on the portal?

    The BUSY tool is built for speed and business use. Instead of navigating the GST portal each time, you can run quick checks while you are creating bills or doing inward entry.
