CBIC has clarified that a new online utility has been developed at https://verifydocument.cbic.gov.in, which allows for the online verification of the unique ‘Issue number’ ,generated by CBIC’s eOffice application. It is stated that for communications dispatched using the public option in the eOffice application, the verifiable ‘Issue number’ will now be considered as the DIN. It further specified that the DIN must still be used on all other communications that do not possess either an eOffice Issue number or a verifiable Reference Number (RFN) from the GST common portal.
