Fill name, address and status from the GST portal

The official GST portal search shows a business's legal and trade name, address and status, behind a picture code. Nivesh Sahayak reads that page when you paste it, so you never type the address.

Step by step

1. Press Get name and address from this GSTIN. The GSTIN is copied and the GST portal's Search Taxpayer page opens.
2. On the portal. Paste the GSTIN, type the letters from the picture and search.
3. Copy the result page. Select all (Ctrl + A) and copy (Ctrl + C).
4. Paste it back. Paste in the box; legal name, trade name, address, PIN, state, status, taxpayer type and registration date are read.
5. Check and save. Correct anything, then Use these details and save as a customer or supplier.

Worked example

For a proprietor, the bill uses the trade name ("Verma Paints") by default, and the legal name ("Rakesh Verma") is kept in the record; one tap switches to the legal name.

Common mistakes and how to fix them

• Status not Active. The tool warns. Do not bill a cancelled GSTIN as B2B; ask the buyer.
