As per Circular No. 252/09/2025-GST dated 23rd September 2025, the CBIC has introduced an online utility to verify communications issued through its eOffice system. Each such document now carries a unique ‘Issue Number’ that can be authenticated online, eliminating the need to generate a separate Document Identification Number (DIN).
The new utility, available at https://verifydocument.cbic.gov.in, allows taxpayers to confirm document details like file number, date, issuing office, and recipient information. For all eOffice communications bearing this verifiable ‘Issue Number,’ quoting a separate DIN is no longer required. However, DIN will still be mandatory for other communications not issued through eOffice or without a Reference Number (RFN) on the GST portal.
