  • Clients can now generate short-lived JWT tokens using existing client credentials.
  • Offers a secure, modern alternative to traditional client_id / client_secret auth for Fabric v2 APIs.

V. Enhanced Reliability for MCA APIs with Parallel Retry Mechanism

  • Implemented a parallel thread-based retry mechanism for MCA APIs.
  • Improves CIN retrieval speed and reliability for GSTIN_DETAILED document types.
  • Uses multiple concurrent attempts for better consistency and reduced latency.
