## Questions and answers from the visible page

### What does a GSTIN validator actually check?

It checks that the 15-character structure is correct (2-digit state code + 10-character PAN + entity code + 'Z' + checksum) and that the final checksum character matches — it does not confirm the GSTIN is active or registered.

### How do I check if a GSTIN is actually registered and active?

Use the official GST portal's "Search Taxpayer" tool, which confirms live registration status, legal name, and filing status — this calculator only checks the number's format.

### What are the first two digits of a GSTIN?

The first two digits are the state code where the business is registered — for example, 27 is Maharashtra and 07 is Delhi.
