MICR code consist of 9 digit
First three digit denotes city and are same/identical first three digit of your pin code
for example for New Delhi =110 so first three digit of MICR code of all the bank branches located in NEW delhi irrespective of bank or bank branches will be110.
4-6 digit denotes for Bank
each bank has given a three digit code,4-6 digit is= bank code eg. SBI code is "002"so 4-6 digit of MICR CODE all the the branches of SBI is "002" irrespective of location in the india.
(7-9)Last three digit denotes branch code,it is in serial wise ,means if delhi has only one branch of sbi and its MICR code will be

Document Identification Number by Income Tax department

I have seen that CBDT or tax authority always  makes rules for tax payers but this time they have come up with rules which is applicable for themselves .It is self regulation measure which is help full in curb the Inspector raj in income tax department and further reduce the role of middle man and create a transparent atmosphere.
what is this step/rule.???
The rule is that Income tax department will  Allot of Document Identification Number(DIN) on each communication made within or with the assesse(taxpayer)both incoming and outgoing letter .DIN will be generated/alloted through computer.
The new Section 282B of the Income Tax Act reads as,

(1) Every income-tax authority shall allot a computer generated Document Identification Number in respect of every notice, order, letter or any correspondence issued by him to any other income-tax authority or assessee or any other person and such number shall be quoted thereon.

(2) Where the notice, order, letter or any correspondence, issued by any income-tax authority, does not bear a Document Identification Number referred to in sub-section (1), such notice, order, letter or any correspondence shall be treated as invalid and shall be deemed never to have been issued.

(3) Every document, letter or any correspondence, received by an income-tax authority or on behalf of such authority, shall be accepted only after allotting and quoting of a computer generated Document Identification Number.

(4) Where the document, letter or any correspondence received by any income-tax authority or on behalf of such authority does not bear the Document Identification Number referred to in subsection (3), such document, letter or any correspondence shall be treated as invalid and shall be deemed never to have been received.”

After application of this section the Income tax dept will allot DIN(document identification Number) on each incoming or outgoing letter/Notice.so after this either of the party can not deny existence of the letter/memo/notice.This system will be beneficial for most of Honest tax payers .
The entire office administration will automatically improve if you have control over the inward and outward correspondence. And the government seems to be serious – that's why they have inserted these provisions in the Act – instead of issuing circulars which are anyway going to be flouted with impunity.
