Now, DIN can be generated prior to uploading the document in ITBA.

ITBA provides the functionality to capture and upload the letters, notices and orders issued manually and served on the assessee by users due to any exceptional reasons like technical issue in system etc. DIN was generated for every such document uploaded manually. However, there was no facility to quote the system generated DIN in the physical copy of documents.
