GSTIN is now one of the basic requirements. It stands for Goods and Services Tax Identification Number, will be a 15 digit number, often abbreviated as GSIN. Those dealers who have chosen the composition scheme are also required to make their status public and have to disclose their status that they are not permitted to collect taxes from the people.
