FAQ :
The CBIC has clarified that the Document Identification Number (DIN) is not mandatory for communications issued through the GST common portal if they already possess a verifiable Reference Number (RFN).
RFN stands for Reference Number, which is a verifiable number generated by the GST common portal for documents and summaries.
Quoting both DIN and RFN on the same communication, which are both electronically generated verifiable unique numbers, is considered unnecessary by the CBIC.
No, this clarification specifically applies to communications sent via the common portal that have a verifiable RFN, in compliance with Section 169 of the CGST Act, 2017.
Circular No. 122/41/2019-GST dated 05th November 2019 and Circular No. 128/47/2019-GST dated 23.12.2019 are modified to this extent.
