Where to Find the GSTIN on Air India's Invoice
Finance and HR teams check for the vendor's registered 15-character GSTIN before approving reimbursement claims:
To ensure your flight reimbursement is approved, verify the GSTIN is visible. On Air India's invoice, Air India Limited's 15-digit GSTIN is printed in the top section.
Which number goes where on your expense sheet
Most company expense templates ask for the base amount and the GST in separate columns. The total is the exact amount you get reimbursed:
A ₹6,300 Air India economy flight for client meetings. On a ₹6,000.00 base fare, 5% GST is ₹300.00 (₹150.00 CGST + ₹150.00 SGST).
| Expense Sheet Column | Tax Rate | Amount (₹) |
|---|---|---|
| Base Fare / Price (Pre-Tax) | - | ₹6000.00 |
| CGST (Central Tax) | 2.5% | ₹150.00 |
| SGST (State Tax) | 2.5% | ₹150.00 |
| Total Amount Claimed | 5% Total | ₹6300.00 |
How the tax appears on the receipt — intra-state orders split it in two (CGST + SGST), while inter-state orders show one single line (IGST). You can calculate any custom amount with our free GST Calculator.
