Under GST law, a business with a place of business (branch, office, warehouse, or factory) in a state must register separately in that state. ESSEN & COMPANY operates in 3 states (Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh), so it holds a separate GSTIN for each. When transacting with them, use the GSTIN corresponding to their branch in your state to ensure correct IGST/CGST+SGST treatment.

Character 13 of a GSTIN differentiates multiple registrations of the same PAN within the same state. The first registration gets "1", a second in the same state gets "2", and so on up to 9 then A–Z. Most businesses show "1". Seeing "2" or higher means the entity has more than one place of business in that state.
