ICAI Announces Update on UDIN Portal; Change in Data Entry to Numeric Format

The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) has announced an update to the UDIN portal, mandating a change in data entry to a numeric format for ease of use. The change is intended to simplify the process of generating Unique Document Identification Numbers (UDINs), which are used to authenticate documents filed by chartered accountants. The shift to a numeric format aims to streamline the process and reduce errors associated with the previous data entry system. This update is part of ICAI's ongoing efforts to enhance the efficiency and security of the UDIN system, ensuring that it remains effective for auditors and professionals across India.
