Document Identification Number (DIN)

 DEAR SIR,

Section 282B (Allotment of Document Identification Number) is a new section inserted by the Finance (No. 2) Act, 2009 in the Income-tax Act with effect from 1st October, 2010.

Under the provisions of this section, an income-tax authority is required to allot a computer generated Document Identification Number before issue of every notice, order, letter or any correspondence to any other income-tax authority or assessee or any other person and such number shall be quoted thereon. It also provides that every document, letter, correspondence received by an income-tax authority or on behalf of such authority, shall be accepted only after allotting and quoting of a computer generated Document Identification Number.

  According to the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT), Document Identification Number/DIN will be compulsory with respect to every notice, order, letter or any tax-related communication, including the filing of returns for the financial year 2010-11.
