If taxpayers and CA professionals face a problem generating UDIN in the official portal. We have published the easy steps to generate the UDIN Number or Unique Document Identification Number in Tax Audit via Gen Balance Sheet Software. We also have included the registration process, UDIN format, etc.
All Details About UDIN
Each document and certificate that has been attested by a registered CA is given a unique UDIN Number or Unique Document Identification Number. As of February 1, 2019, all certificates and documents issued by Chartered Accountants in Practice must include UDIN.
UDIN is a unique number generated for every certificate and another similar record that has been certified by a Chartered Accountant who has registered themselves on the UDIN official portal.
UDIN Registration Process on the Portal
In order to generate the UDIN for every document that needs to be attested, full-time practising Chartered Accountants (CAs with COP) must first register themselves on the UDIN portal.
Simple to Understand the UDIN Format
In the following format, the UDIN has 18 digits and is generated by the system, for example – 22314875RKTSAN1639
- A YY code refers to the last two digits of the current year (i.e 22)
- ICAI’s membership number is the next 6 digits, which is AAAAAA (i.e. 314875)
- The next 10 digits are generated at random, i.e (RKTSAN1639)
