you may use 1,2,3,4....no need of alpha numeric.....
as per my knowledge the same is not a mandatory fields
Just add six letters of the company name and three numbers starting as 001. eg ABCDEF001. Though employee reference number is optional.
U can use employee code if any, mix with company name

its mandatory. without providing the valid refernece number form 27A not generating.

6 digit alphabets & 3 digit numbers i tried,then tried with pan number also. still not working.

it worked when i mentioned 000000001 number for forst employee & so on.

thanks.

first employee i meant
