New facility to verify Document Reference Number (RFN) mentioned on offline communications issued by State GST authorities
On April 28 2023, the GSTN has enabled the facility to verify document reference number (RFN) mentioned on offline notices/orders issued by the State GST authorities.
In majority cases, documents such as notices / orders etc. generated through GST portal/system generated already have system generated unique identifier DIN (Document Identification Number)/ RFN (Reference Number) and such notices/orders can be traced by the taxpayer on their dashboard. The GSTN will provide a facility to verify such auto generated RFN documents in near future.
For all offline communications such as offline notices/orders, the state tax officer can now generate a unique RFN from the GST portal and the tax payer will be able to verify the authenticity of such offline/physical communication by validating RFN mentioned on such offline/physical communication from the GST portal itself. The facility to validate such RFN will be available both pre and post login on GST portal. Limited Details of valid RFN will be displayed for the pre login facility while more details will be available for validated RFN in case the taxpayer logs in and verifies RFN mentioned on an offline communication.
To verify a Reference Number mentioned on the offline communications sent by the State GST officers, navigate to:
Services > User Services > Verify RFN
It is to be noted that such RFN verification facility is available only for those offline correspondences which are issued by the State GST authorities. For documents issued by Central GST officers, facility of CBIC DIN can be used.
