This tip will work for you
The tax expert told that earlier the notice used to have DIN (Document Identification Number). You can go to the CBIC website and enter this DIN number to check whether the notice you have received is genuine or fake. Even today, this DIN number is there in the notice, but the notice that comes from the state, there was no number above it. For this, now the government has brought a new facility.
Now an RFN number will be written on top of your notice. You can check the RFN number for the notices you get from the state government. You can search it by going to the GST portal. If you search without logging in, then you will get to see some details of the notice. On the other hand, if you search after logging in, then you will see the complete details. In this way you can find out whether the notice you have received is genuine or not.
