GST No. Check

The GST No. of a party, company, branch or transporter is checked only when you click the check icon at the end of the GST No. box. Leaving the box no longer checks it.

Where the icon is

Account Master, Company, Branch, Transport, Customer Registration and Vendor Registration - on the Add and the Edit screen.

How to check

  1. Type the full 15-character GST No.
  2. Click the shield icon at the end of the box. It spins while the check runs.
  3. Name, address, city, pincode, state, PAN and TDS type are filled from the GST portal details.
  4. You are asked to confirm first, on both the Add and the Edit screen.

Leaving the box still warns you when the same GST No. is already used in another firm.

Credits

  • Every check uses 1 credit, together with e-way bill and e-invoice usage.
  • When GST credits are exhausted the check is not done and a message asks you to recharge.
  • Details checked in the last 30 days come from the saved copy; older ones are fetched again from the GST portal.

GST No. Check Log

Reports > E-Way/E-Invoice > EW5 GSTIN Check Log lists every check: date and time, GST No., legal name, GST status, where the details came from, screen, user and credits. Filter by date, company, and GST Portal / Cache.

E-Way Bill

GST details are no longer looked up automatically anywhere, including in e-way bills. The address, city and pin code are taken only from the Company, Branch or Account Master. When something is missing, e-way generation shows a message with a Click here to Update link. Open the master, then type the details or click the shield icon to fill them from the GST portal (1 credit).
