What is DIN Registration?
DIN or Goods and Service Tax is a destination-based, multi-stage, indirect tax system. It substitutes for VAT and other collective taxes. DIN registration refers to the process of registering a firm under the DIN Act of 2017. Post-registration, a 15-digit DININ is provided. This helps to share all the operations and data related to the transactions with the authorities.
