UDIN stands for Unique Document Identification Number. It is a unique identifier for documents certified or attested by a full-time practising professional, like a Chartered Accountant (CA) or Certified Management Accountant (CMA). This number is generated from the system and is used to verify the genuineness of documents and control malpractices by ensuring that only qualified professionals can attest to them.
