Sub: No need of DIN in the present era of e-office.
Sir,
It is
submitted with due regards that generating of DIN was relevant only in pre e-office
era. At that time, only manual files were in use and DIN was
introduced to rule out any unauthorized communication to the assessees.
2. Some
recent changes have been made in application of DIN despite of the fact that
now it is impossible to issue any unauthorized communication to the assessees under
the e-office. The recent changes have made the things more complicated and time
consuming for our officers who are already overburdened due to various reports
being asked from Range and Division offices every day and other
various works. Actually, the DIN has become a big hindrance in Divisional and Range
work now.
3. There is no
relevance of DIN for any communication made in e-office in general and with
e-signature in particular regarding any correspondence made with
the assessees including summons, search warrants, orders, appeals, notices etc.
It is also submit-worthy that the superior officers don’t generate DIN for OIOs passed
by them. It is generated by the lower officers for the purpose of the issuance
of the order. If the concerned authority passing the order doesn’t generate the
DIN from his/her own ID, the very purpose of generating the DIN is not
fulfilled.
4. Actually,
the requirement of DIN seems totally unfounded in the present era of
e-office. This concept was relevant only for pre e-office era when manual files
were in use. It is required to be discontinued totally in the
present time. In fact, the use of official e-mail Id’s also
serve the purpose of DIN under the e-office.
5. The
issuance of DIN is merely a clerical work and it serves the purpose of dispatch
only. If it is still et al required to be continued, it should be the responsibility
of dispatch section only which can be done by the junior most officer of the
section.
6. In view of
the above, it is requested to kindly do away with the DIN in the present era of
e-office or it may kindly be issued by the dispatch section itself in case of its
continuance.
Thanking you,
Yours sincerely,
(HARPAL SINGH),
Secretary General.
