Unique CA Number

A unique numbering system for chartered accountants rolled out five years ago is beginning to offer new insights into their services in high demand, and economic activity at the state level.

• In 2019, the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) introduced a unique document identification number (UDIN) for CAs, aimed to prevent crooks issuing fake certificates.
• The new system is proving to be a gauge of economic activities across the country, down to district level.
• UDIN can be generated for the documents / certificates available on the UDIN portal by selecting a document from the list and providing other details like date of signing the document, detail of financial figures and document description.
• UDIN generation does not require any document upload.
