Where to Use Your GSTIN QR Code

Under Rule 46 of the CGST Rules, every tax invoice issued by a registered person with aggregate turnover exceeding ₹500 crore must carry a dynamic QR code. Even below this threshold, adding a QR code to your invoices, visiting cards, and storefront signage builds customer trust and enables instant GST verification. The QR code embeds your GSTIN, business name, registration status, and a direct link to your verified profile on GSTVerify — serving as live proof of active registration.

Common Use Cases

Tax invoices and bills of supply (Rule 46/49 compliance), business visiting cards and letterheads, storefront displays and shop signage, packaging and shipping labels, email signatures and digital proposals, e-commerce seller profile pages, and vendor registration documents. The QR code works with any standard phone camera — no special app needed.

PNG vs SVG — Which to Download?

PNG is a raster image at 200×200 pixels — ideal for digital invoices, websites, and email signatures where the QR code will be displayed at a fixed size. SVG is a vector format that scales to any size without losing quality — ideal for print materials like signage, banners, and high-resolution packaging where the QR code needs to be enlarged. The SVG also includes your business name and GSTIN as text above the QR code.
