TIN (Taxpayer Identification Number) is a unique identification number required for every business enterprise registered under VAT. A TIN typically contains 11 characters and is provided by the IT department to all the business entities willing to register under VAT or CST. All receiving and sending companies are required to mention TIN on all documents pertaining to the deals like an invoice, sales order, quotation etc.

There is no one standard procedure for TIN application. It varies from state to state.

Documents Required

  • Identity proof
  • Address proof
  • Address proof of the business that has applied for it
  • PAN Card of proprietor
  • 4 – 6 passport sized photographs of the concerned proprietor
