reforms in State level taxation system for levy taxes on sale or purchase of goods, the States and

Union Territories has already implemented taxation system namely “Value Added Tax” and now

unique registration number that is used for identification of the dealers registered under VAT. It

consists of 11 digit numerals and will be unique throughout the country. First two digit of TIN No.
