The Goods and Services Tax Network (GSTN) on April 28, 2023, issued a notification regarding a new facility to verify document Reference Number (RFN) mentioned on offline communications issued by State GST authorities.
By virtue of being generated by the System, these documents are already traceable in the portal, mostly on the taxpayer’s dashboard. Still, a facility for taxpayers to verify such documents through such auto-generated RFN is under development and will be provided shortly.
Under this feature, the State Tax office can generate an RFN for the physically generated correspondence sent to the taxpayer, which can be validated by the taxpayer (pre and post-login). The facility to verify the RFN of System-generated documents, once deployed, shall also be available in a seamless manner using the same link.
To verify a Reference Number mentioned on the offline communications sent by State GST officers that are being sent to you, navigate to Services > User Services > Verify RFN option and provide the RFN to be verified
