Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed a Public Interest Litigation concerning the implementation of a Document Identification Number (DIN) system for communications from State Tax Officers. The petitioner argued that such a system would enhance transparency and accountability in indirect tax administration. The court recognized the importance of the DIN system in preventing potential abuses and directed the GST Council to consider the implementation of this system across all states.
