GST state code 25: Daman and Diu
GST state code 25 was Daman and Diu. It is an old code: Daman and Diu merged with Dadra and Nagar Haveli, and the merged territory uses code 26. A GSTIN that starts with 25 dates from before the change. The first two digits of every GSTIN are the state code, followed by the PAN, an entity number, the letter Z and a check character.
