Circular No. 249/06/2025-GST dated 09 June 2025
Key pointers –
- The Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) previously mandated the generation and quoting of a Document Identification Number (DIN) on all communications (including emails) sent to taxpayers and other concerned persons to enhance accountability and transparency.
- It has been observed that documents and summaries generated through the GST common portal already contain a verifiable Reference Number (RFN).
- Therefore, the circular clarifies that for communications issued via the common portal that bear a verifiable Reference Number (RFN), the quoting of a Document Identification Number (DIN) is not required, and such communications with an RFN are considered valid.
