Characters 1–2: State/UT code (01 = J&K, 07 = Delhi, 27 = Maharashtra, 29 = Karnataka, 33 = Tamil Nadu…)
Characters 3–12: PAN of the taxpayer (10 chars). 4th character of PAN indicates entity type: P=Individual, C=Company, H=HUF, F=Firm, A=AOP, T=Trust
Character 13: Entity number (1–9, then A–Z) — multiple registrations under same PAN in same state
Character 14: Always 'Z' (default)
Character 15: Check digit (0–9 or A–Z) — validates the entire GSTIN
