As part of bringing transparency in GST communications between the taxpayers and the officials, the Government has mandated quoting of Documentation Identification Number ( DIN ) before responding to a notice.
The DIN system introduced by the Central Board of Indirect Taxes (CBIC) has come into existence from 8th November 2019. This path-breaking DIN system in indirect tax administration has been created as per the direction of Union Minister for Finance and Corporate Affairs Smt.
Recently, a Chartered Accountant, CA Pradeep Goyal approached the Apex Court sought for appropriate directions for the generation of a Document Identification Number (DIN) for all communications sent by state tax officers. It is submitted that as per the information available in public domain only two states i.e. Karnataka and Kerala have a proper system of DIN in place.
As per the newly amended system, the taxpayer should confirm the DIN before responding to any notice as quoting DIN was made mandatory by Government.
